Patricia Goldman-Rakic
N euroscience, by its very nature, incorporates most other scientific disciplines in a quest to discover the roots of such complex functions as sensation, movement, emotion, and cognition. But it is a rare individual who has the courage to embrace multiple disciplines to fundamentally advance understanding of the relationship between brain and behavior. The career and life of Patricia Goldman-R...
متن کاملPatricia Goldman-Rakic A Remembrance
In the 1960s, scientists were conquering improbable frontiers: the moon was about to be walked upon; the brain cracked open. Neuroscientists were discovering that the secrets of the visual cortex could be broken with single-cell recordings and new anatomical tracing techniques, revealing an extraordinary organization: columns of cells responsive to only one eye; single cells tuned to a specific...
متن کاملThe Neurobiology of Thought: The Groundbreaking Discoveries of Patricia Goldman-Rakic 1937–2003
Patricia S. Goldman-Rakic (1937-2003) transformed the study of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the neural basis of mental representation, the basic building block of abstract thought. Her pioneering research first identified the dorsolateral PFC (dlPFC) region essential for spatial working memory, and the extensive circuits of spatial cognition. She discovered the cellular basis of working memo...
متن کاملForward to the special issue on the prefrontal cortex and working memory: in memory of Patricia S. Goldman-Rakic.
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Kavli Symposium on the Prefrontal Cortex and Working Memory at Yale University in Memory of Patricia Shoer Goldman-Rakic. In a few months, it will be 3 years that Pat was suddenly silenced in a tragic accident as she was reaching the peak of her career. Although time has passed, Pat’s contributions to our understanding of the mysteries of the prefrontal c...
متن کاملA Microcircuit Model of Prefrontal Functions: Ying and Yang of Reverberatory Neurodynamics in Cognition
In contrast to neural systems responsible for sensory processing or motor behavior, the prefrontal cortex is a quintessentially ‘‘cognitive’’ structure. A bewildering gamut of complex higher brain processes depend on prefrontal cortex. It is thus a particularly challenging quest to elucidate the neurobiology of prefrontal functions at the mechanistic level. Patricia S. Goldman-Rakic voiced this...
