Flexible Use of Limited Resources for Sequence Working Memory in Macaque Prefrontal Cortex
FYI: Understanding WM resources at both the single neuron and population levels.

Sequence WM gating through synchronization! We found frontal cortical theta-range spike-field coherence is rank-selectively associated with spiking-based memory subspaces, supporting the binding of items to their associated ordinal ranks.

It’s time to work WITH memory!
New work from our lab is out: Extra temporary subspace is necessary for information exchange or asynchronous programming.

How does the frontal cortex flexibly control sequence working memory? A new paper from the lab just out in NEURON. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jeMN… We found separable and generalizable subspaces for sensory & WM. The neural dynamics within these subspaces reflected the control of SWM.
Is geometry a language that only humans know?

Using two-photon calcium imaging of macaque DLPFC, we show that sequence working memory relied on a compositional neural code with separate disentangled low-dimensional rank subspaces for every rank. Stay tuned: there is more coming soon from our electrophysiological experiments.
