The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is important for learning and performing working memory tasks. However, its precise role for spatial and non-spatial working memory, and the role of different cell types in ...

Humans are known to rapidly adapt their mental processes and behavior based on feedback they receive from the world around them. For instance, some past studies have shown that people progressively ...

Neurons in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) represent sensory stimuli in a dynamic, task-specific manner 1,2,3. Analysis of population activity with methods of dimensionality reduction reveals that stimuli ...

Researchers have joined forces to give a boost to spatial memory by creating a unique experimental setup that combines non-invasive deep-brain stimulation, virtual reality training, and fMRI imaging.

As we age, it becomes more difficult to remember where things are—whether it's recalling where we left the keys or where we parked the car. This spatial memory deteriorates further with the onset of ...
