ABSTRACT
Studies of the neural basis of PF function in monkeys have focused primarily on active short-term, or working, memory. They have revealed that when a delay is imposed between a visual stimulus and a response based on it, many PF neurons show sustained stimulus-related activity (Goldman-Rakic, 1994; Fuster, 1995). Because sensory inputs are often fleeting, this short-term maintenance may be fundamental to many cognitive functions. However, complex behavior requires more than temporary storage. Relevant sensory inputs need to be selected and integrated with other information common to the goal at hand. Also needed are the executive mechanisms that determine, for example, which stimuli are relevant and should be selected. Much less is known about the neural basis of these higher functions. Here, briefly review some recent studies that are beginning to provide some insight into the role of the PF cortex in selection, integration, and learning associations. |
