Cognitive control, the ability to orchestrate behavior in accord with our goals, depends on
the prefrontal cortex. These cognitive functions are heavily influenced by the …

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) combine methods, approaches, and concepts derived from
neurophysiology, computer science, and engineering in an effort to establish real-time …

A prominent account of prefrontal cortex (PFC) function is that single neurons within the PFC
maintain representations of task-relevant stimuli in working memory. Evidence for this view …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

Cognitive neuroscience research on working memory has been largely motivated by a
standard model that arose from the melding of psychological theory with neuroscience data …

This is the first full study of how people refer to entities in natural discourse. It contributes to
the understanding of both linguistic diversity and the cognitive underpinnings of language …

Attention exhibits characteristic neural signatures in brain regions that process sensory
signals. An important area of future research is to understand the nature of top-down signals …

Does the sustained, elevated neural activity observed during working memory tasks reflect
the short-term retention of information? Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data …

The ability to select information that is relevant to current behavioral goals is the hallmark of
voluntary attention and an essential part of our cognition. Attention tasks are a prime …

Working memory (WM) is the ability to remember and manipulate information for short time
intervals. Recent studies have proposed that sustained firing encoding the contents of WM is …
