Variability of Neural Responses in the Lateral Prefrontal Cortex
The neurophysiological signature of visuospatial working memory is a conspicuous persistent activity throughout a delay period in which the stimulus is absent. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has long been implicated as the seat of visuospatial working memory, and undergoes dramatic increases in …
