Cognit activation: a mechanism enabling temporal integration in working memory
Open accessAbstract
Working memory is critical to the integration of information across time in goal-directed behavior, reasoning and language, yet its neural substrate is unknown. Based on recent research, we propose a mechanism by which the brain can retain working memory for prospective use, thereby bridging time in the perception/action cycle. The essence of the mechanism is the activation of 'cognits', which consist of distributed, overlapping and interactive cortical networks that in the aggregate encode the long-term memory of the subject. Working memory depends on the excitatory reentry between perceptual and executive cognits of posterior and frontal cortices, respectively. Given the pervasive role of working memory in the structuring of purposeful cognitive sequences, its mechanism looms essential to the foundation of behavior, reasoning and language.

Each of the two putative emotional and non-emotional networks likely has a hierarchical perception-action organization, where the highest levels process more complex and temporally dispersed information.
“It is likely that each of these two putative networks has a hierarchical perception-action organization (Fuster, 2000, 2004; Fuster and Bressler, 2012), where the highest levels process more complex and temporally dispersed information.”
From Top-Down Dysregulation—From ADHD to Emotional Instability (2016) · cites this paper as Fuster and Bressler, 2012
In “The Cognit” (page unavailable), the paper describes hierarchical perceptual and executive cognits, with more complex cognits in higher cortical areas. It also links high-level cognits to complex goals and working-memory integration across time. It does not establish that each of two emotional and non-emotional networks has this organization; those are not the two hierarchies it identifies. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
