The Memory Map of Visual Space

Román Rossi-Pool et al. Trends Neurosci. 2018 Mar.

Abstract

A 1989 paper by Patricia Goldman-Rakic and colleagues reported that the prefrontal cortex coded the visual space during working memory. This landmark work not only offered a biological explanation for this cognitive function, but also opened up a wide field of research aimed at understanding the biological bases of various cognitive functions.
