We review the central tenets and neuroanatomical basis of the global neuronal workspace
(GNW) hypothesis, which attempts to account for the main scientific observations regarding …

▪ Abstract The prefrontal cortex has long been suspected to play an important role in
cognitive control, in the ability to orchestrate thought and action in accordance with internal …

This article concerns the nature of evoked brain responses and the principles underlying
their generation. We start with the premise that the sensory brain has evolved to represent or …

Studies in humans and non-human primates have provided evidence for storage of working
memory contents in multiple regions ranging from sensory to parietal and prefrontal cortex …

One of the enduring mysteries of brain function concerns the process of cognitive control.
How does complex and seemingly wilful behaviour emerge from interactions between …

Pandya (Figure 1). Phylogenetically, it is one of the latest zation, sensory and motor areas
support specific sencortices to develop, having attained maximum relative sory and motor …

Working memory (WM) provides the functional backbone to high-level cognition.
Maintenance in WM is often assumed to depend on the stationary persistence of neural …

We recorded the activity of single neurons in the posterior parietal cortex (area LIP) of two
rhesus monkeys while they discriminated the direction of motion in random-dot visual …

Signals derived from the rat motor cortex can be used for controlling one-dimensional
movements of a robot arm. It remains unknown, however, whether real-time processing of …

Human dreaming occurs during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. To investigate the
structure of neural activity during REM sleep, we simultaneously recorded the activity of …
