Cerebellar, parietal, and frontal cortex exert distinct causal influences on cortical population codes supporting working memory

The paper shows cerebellar, parietal, and frontal cortex have distinct causal roles in maintaining cortical population codes for working memory through TMS and fMRI.

Frontal stimulation reshapes SCAN connectivity and improves motor function in Parkinson's disease

This study shows that stimulating the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex improves motor function in Parkinson's disease, particularly under cognitive load, by altering functional connectivity in the somato-cognitive action network.

Combined Auditory, Tactile, and Visual fMRI Reveals Sensory-Biased and Supramodal Working Memory Regions in Human Frontal Cortex

Errors of attention adaptively warp spatial cognition

The paper shows that spatial recall shifts to counteract accumulated attentional errors during a task combining perceptual discrimination and spatial working memory.

Reward influences the allocation but not the availability of resources in visual working memory

This study shows rewards influence resource allocation but not availability in visual working memory by affecting recall accuracy for cued versus non-cued items.

Extended frontal networks for visual and auditory working memory

The paper identifies sensory-biased regions in the frontal cortex using functional connectivity and task fMRI, revealing distinct visual and auditory working memory networks.

Predicted Utility Modulates Working Memory Fidelity in the Brain

This study uses fMRI to show that items with higher predicted utility are remembered with greater fidelity in working memory, even without concurrent memory load.
