Spatial and temporal distribution of visual information coding in lateral prefrontal cortex
Prefrontal neurons code many kinds of behaviourally relevant visual information. In behaving monkeys, we used a cued target detection task to address coding of objects, behavioural categories and spatial locations, examining the temporal evolution of neural activity across dorsal and ventral regions of the lateral prefrontal cortex (encompassing parts of areas 9, 46, 45A and 8A), and across the...
متن کاملNeuronal population coding of perceived and memorized visual features in the lateral prefrontal cortex
The primate lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) encodes visual stimulus features while they are perceived and while they are maintained in working memory. However, it remains unclear whether perceived and memorized features are encoded by the same or different neurons and population activity patterns. Here we record LPFC neuronal activity while monkeys perceive the motion direction of a stimulus t...
متن کاملBehavioral Regulation and the Modulation of Information Coding in the Lateral Prefrontal and Cingulate Cortex.
To explain the high level of flexibility in primate decision-making, theoretical models often invoke reinforcement-based mechanisms, performance monitoring functions, and core neural features within frontal cortical regions. However, the underlying biological mechanisms remain unknown. In recent models, part of the regulation of behavioral control is based on meta-learning principles, for examp...
متن کاملFine-grained temporal coding of visually-similar categories in the ventral visual pathway and prefrontal cortex
Humans are remarkably proficient at categorizing visually-similar objects. To better understand the cortical basis of this categorization process, we used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to record neural activity while participants learned-with feedback-to discriminate two highly-similar, novel visual categories. We hypothesized that although prefrontal regions would mediate early category learnin...
متن کاملRepresentation of the temporal order of visual objects in the primate lateral prefrontal cortex.
Recollecting a past episode involves remembering the temporal order of events. We studied cellular activity in the lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) of two monkeys that were required to remember the temporal order in which visual objects appeared and to reach for each object in the same order after a delay. Here, we report the cellular activity in the lateral PFC, focusing on the delay period. We...
