Neglecting the posterior parietal cortex: The role of higher-order perceptual memories for working-memory retention
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2003
Abstract:
The view that posterior brain systems engaged in lower-order perceptual functions are activated during sustained retention is challenged by fMRI data, which show consistent retention-related activation of higher-order memory representations for a variety of working-memory materials. Sustained retention entails the dynamic link of these higher-order memories with schemata for goal-oriented action housed by the frontal lobes.
