Resource-Rational Encoding of Reward Information in Working Memory During Planning

This study shows humans allocate working memory during planning based on decision relevance, not salience, using computational models and behavioral experiments.

Flexible Working Memory in the Peripheral Nervous System

The paper shows that working memory representations are flexibly distributed between eye and hand movements depending on the task format.

Windows to the goal: Pupillary working memory signatures prospectively adapt to task demands

This study investigates whether pupillary responses reflect working memory of natural scenes and adapts to task demands, finding feature-specific effects based on memory strategy.

Flexible gaze reinstatement during working memory for natural scenes

This study shows that gaze patterns during working memory for natural scenes reflect item-specific visual details and adapt to task demands, suggesting flexible WM representations.

Lateral prefrontal cortex controls interplay between working memory and actions

This study investigates how working memory (WM) influences motor actions and shows that lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) modulates this interaction through different mechanisms depending on the time-scale of control.

Structured memory representations develop at multiple time scales in hippocampal-cortical networks

The paper shows that memory representations develop at multiple time scales in hippocampal-cortical networks, with specific representations emerging early and schematic representations forming later across brain regions.

Long-term learning transforms prefrontal cortex representations during working memory

This study shows that long-term training increases lPFC involvement in working memory by shaping stimulus-selective representations and sequence relationships, reconciling conflicting views on lPFC function.
