This study shows that neural activity patterns in the prefrontal cortex predict cognitive improvements during adolescence, with long-distance white matter tracts playing a key role.

This study shows prefrontal neurons in monkeys rotate stimulus representations in low-dimensional space during passive viewing, with some transformations persisting after task training and distinguishing correct from error trials.

The paper shows that cholinergic neuromodulation improves spatial working memory by altering prefrontal attractor dynamics through increased neural excitability and reduced correlations.

This study examines how training affects timescales of neural dynamics in primate prefrontal cortex and their role in working memory.

This study examines how training affects nonlinear mixed selectivity in prefrontal cortex neurons during working memory tasks, finding increased NMS for spatial but not shape tasks.

This study shows that neural changes from working memory training transfer to untrained tasks in monkeys, revealing a neural basis for task-general cognitive benefits.

This study shows that nucleus basalis stimulation improves working memory by stabilizing attractor networks in the prefrontal cortex without increasing neural selectivity.

The paper investigates whether prefrontal and parietal cortex activity predicts categorical working memory judgments and finds that both areas show firing rate deviations linked to memory content and performance.
