Chapter 16 Cellular and circuit basis of working memory in prefrontal cortex of nonhuman primates

Open access
·1991·Progress in Brain Research

Abstract

Working memory is applied by cognitive psychologists and theorists to the type of memory that is active and relevant only for a short period of time. This chapter reviews the role of prefrontal cortex (PFC) in working memory. In the cerebral cortex, a variety of neuronal responses is recorded from prefrontal neurons and they all play some role in integrated delayed-response performance and in the fundamental process of working memory. Neuronal activities are related to the cue, to the delay, to the response, or to some combination of these in manual delayed-response tasks. All major classes of neuron are found in the caudal portion of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and all major classes of neuron are identified in oculomotor, as well as in manual delayed-response tasks. Thus, the functions of the prefrontal cortex pertain to several motor systems and are amenable to cellular and circuit analyses. The principal sulcus in the prefrontal cortex is the anatomical focus for spatial delayed-response function and the knowledge of its connections with other structures helps to understand the circuit and cellular basis of working memory.

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.
