Disentanglement of persistent and dynamic neural substrates of working memory

Alireza Abbasi, Aditya Nanda, Wenhao Dang, Balbir Singh, Zhengyang Wang, Christos Constantinidis, Mikail Rubinov

The paper tests competing theories of working memory by analyzing neuronal activity in macaques, showing that persistent and dynamic activity interact to decode stimuli.
