Abstract

Previous studies have investigated neural correlates of visual search and memory search independently, but none of those studies examined whether cortical regions involved in these searches are overlapping or segregated by directly comparing the two types of search. In this study, we compared the cortical regions involved in visual search and memory search in the same functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment run on the same subjects, using identical stimuli and time courses of stimulus presentation. The right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), the left frontal eye field (FEF), the right precuneus and cuneus, and the left cerebellum were activated by both visual search and memory search. We suggest that the right DLPFC is associated with the process of monitoring and manipulating multiple elements, while the left FEF is involved in cognitive planning. We also propose that the right precuneus and cuneus as well as the left cerebellum are responsible for both spatial and nonspatial shifts of attention, including attentional shifts in long-term memory, although each of these regions has a slightly different role.

  • These regions have been correlated with top-down control operations often employed during retrieval and may be related to item-specific search operations.

    “These regions have been correlated with top-down control operations often employed during retrieval (Simons and Spiers, 2003; Badre and Wagner, 2007) and may be related to item-specific search operations (Makino et al., 2004; Long et al., 2010).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
