Journal ArticleDOI
Mnemonic coding of visual space in the monkey's dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
TL;DR: An oculomotor delayed-response task was used to examine the spatial memory functions of neurons in primate prefrontal cortex and found that inhibitory responses were usually strongest for, or centered about, cue directions roughly opposite those optimal for excitatory responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prefrontal neuronal activity in rhesus monkeys performing a delayed anti-saccade task.
TL;DR: It is shown that most prefrontal neurons code the location of the visual stimulus in working memory, and that this memory can be engaged to suppress as well as prescribe a response, and a role for visual memory in response suppression is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dorsolateral prefrontal lesions and oculomotor delayed-response performance: evidence for mnemonic "scotomas"
TL;DR: The present results strengthen the evidence that the delayed-response deficits of monkeys with prefrontal lesions are caused by failure to maintain a transient memory “trace” in working memory, and indicate for the first time that working memory mechanisms are lateralized: memories for visuo- spatial coordinates in each hemifield are processed primarily in the contralateral prefrontal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal mechanisms of executive control by the prefrontal cortex.
TL;DR: The examination of dynamic and flexible modulation in neuronal interaction among prefrontal neurons as well as between the prefrontal cortex and other cortical and subcortical areas is important for explaining how the cortex exerts executive control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visuospatial coding in primate prefrontal neurons revealed by oculomotor paradigms.
TL;DR: Visual responses and their relationship to delay-period activity were studied by recording single neuron activity from the prefrontal cortex of rhesus monkeys while they performed an oculomotor delayed-response (ODR) and a visual probe (VP) task.
