This Perspective considers the influential notion of a canonical (cortical) microcircuit in light
of recent theories about neuronal processing. Specifically, we conciliate quantitative studies …

We provide an “executive-attention” framework for organizing the cognitive neuroscience
research on the constructs of working-memory capacity (WMC), general fluid intelligence …

Although we have convincing evidence that attention to auditory stimuli modulates neuronal
responses at or before the level of primary auditory cortex (A1), the underlying physiological …

The prefrontal cortex guides behaviors, thoughts, and feelings using representational
knowledge, ie, working memory. These fundamental cognitive abilities subserve the so …

Until the mid 1990s, available evidence regarding neurocognitive aging could be
summarized in a simple statement: cognitive deficits in healthy older adults are largest for …

Electrophysiological and hemodynamical responses of the brain allow investigation of the
neural origins of human attention. We review attention-related brain responses from auditory …

Infancy is a time of rapid growth, when brain plasticity is at a maximum. Event-related
potentials (ERPs) are one of the few methods that can easily and safely be used to study this …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) utilizes working memory to guide behavior and to release the
organism from dependence on environmental cues and is commonly disrupted in …

Tinnitus is an auditory phantom percept with a tone, hissing, or buzzing sound in the
absence of any objective physical sound source. About 6% to 25% of the affected people …

Prefrontal cortex provides both inhibitory and excitatory input to distributed neural circuits
required to support performance in diverse tasks. Neurological patients with prefrontal …
