Redefining the functional organization of working memory processes within human lateral prefrontal cortex

Abstract: It is widely held that the frontal cortex plays a critical part in certain aspects of spatial and non-spatial working memory. One unresolved issue is whether there are functionally distinct subdivisions of the lateral frontal cortex that subserve different aspects of working memory. The present study used positron emission tomography (PET) to demonstrate that working memory processes within the human mid-dorsolateral and mid-ventrolateral frontal regions are organized according to the type of processing requir… Show more

“…Activations along the inferior frontal sulcus, especially the mid-MFG have been shown by a variety of tasks where a high degree of cognitive control was required in order to "monitor", "maintain", and "integrate" information over a period of time (D'Esposito et al, 1999;Fletcher & Henson, 2001;Frith & Dolan, 1996;Owen et al, 1999). With the transition cue, differential sources of contextual information (N-1 task set) and the present cue information have to be integrated.…”

“…In line with this assumption, Monchi and colleagues (2001) assumed that the lateral prefrontal cortex is involved when current information has to be related to previous events stored in working memory. In the terminology of research on working memory, this would mean the manipulation of information in working memory (Owen et al, 1999;Fletcher and Henson, 2001). …”

“…Within the two-level model of executive control, DLPFC is activated when conscious active control of planned behavior and cognition is required (Owen et al, 1999;Petrides, 1994Petrides, , 2000. The two-level model further incorporates a maintenance component, which is involved in holding information in short-term memory and mnemonic operations such as active selection, comparison, and judgment of stimuli held in short-term and long-term memory (Petrides, 2000).…”
