Recurrent activity within microcircuits of macaque dorsolateral prefrontal cortex tracks cognitive flexibility

Suzanne O. Nolan, Patrick R. Melugin, Kirsty R. Erickson…·Cody A. Siciliano

The paper examines microcircuit activity in macaque dlPFC using calcium imaging, showing that spontaneous activity is maintained by microcircuit architecture and correlates with cognitive performance.
