A positron emission tomography study of the short-term maintenance of verbal information

Abstract: Positron emission tomography (PET) was used to investigate the functional brain anatomy associated with the short-term maintenance of linguistic information. Subjects were asked to retain five related words, unrelated words, or pseudowords silently for the duration of a 40 sec PET scan. When brain activity during these short-term maintenance tasks was compared with a visual fixation control task, increases were found bilaterally in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and cerebellum, and medially in the suppleme… Show more

“…The functional neuroarchitecture of the phonological loop has so far been explored primarily for & Petersen, 1996;Gruber & von Cramon, 2003;Paulesu, Frith, & Frackowiak, 1993;Ravizza, Delgado, Chein, Becker, & Fiez, 2004). However, within the auditory WM, differences in the study of linguistic and musical memory have been found.…”

“…A number of studies suggest that articulatory rehearsal is particularly dependent on regions of left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC), including Brodmann's areas 44 and 45. Functional imaging studies examining rehearsal show activation of this region [13,14], and lesions to this region impair articulatory rehearsal [15]. In contrast, the processing or storage of phonological representations is thought to be dependent on regions of left posterior parietal cortex [e.g., 13].…”

“…Thus, the areas involved in rehearsal should be revealed by the task. Smith & Jonides (1999) plotted the foci of activation of six studies using 2-and 3-back tasks Cohen et al, 1994;Cohen et al, 1997;D'Esposito et al, 1998;Fiez et al, 1996). This analysis indicated that the activation clustered posteriorly in the frontal lobe, ranging from the premotor and supplementary motor areas ventrally to Broca's area, showing the extent of a "rehearsal circuit."…”
