Parietal Contributions to Visual Working Memory Depend on Task Difficulty
The nature of parietal contributions to working memory (WM) remain poorly understood but of considerable interest. We previously reported that posterior parietal damage selectively impaired WM probed by recognition (Berryhill and Olson, 2008a). Recent studies provided support using a neuromodulatory technique, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to the right parietal cortex (...
متن کاملRight parietal contributions to verbal working memory: spatial or executive?
The left inferior parietal cortex has been claimed to be the site of the verbal short-term store, yet imaging studies report activity of a homologous right-hemisphere region in verbal working memory tasks as well. In spite of its prevalent activity, right parietal contributions to verbal working memory are poorly understood. To clarify its role in verbal working memory performance, we tested a ...
متن کاملPrefrontal and parietal contributions to spatial working memory.
Functional neuroimaging studies consistently implicate a widespread network of human cortical brain areas that together support spatial working memory. This review summarizes our recent functional magnetic resonance imaging studies of humans performing delayed-saccades. These studies have isolated persistent activity in dorsal prefrontal regions, like the frontal eye fields, and the posterior p...
متن کاملPrefrontal cortex and basal ganglia contributions to visual working memory.
Visual working memory (VWM) is a remarkable skill dependent on the brain's ability to construct and hold an internal representation of the world for later comparison with an external stimulus. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) and basal ganglia (BG) interact within a cortical and subcortical network supporting VWM. We used scalp electroencephalography in groups of patients with unilateral PFC or BG l...
متن کاملDissociating working memory from task difficulty in human prefrontal cortex.
A functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study was conducted to determine whether prefrontal cortex (PFC) increases activity in working memory (WM) tasks as a specific result of the demands placed on WM, or to other processes affected by the greater difficulty of such tasks. Increased activity in dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC) was observed during task conditions that placed demands on active ma...
