Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Brincat et al. (2021) track in real time the working memory representations in prefrontal cortex of both hemispheres, as a saccade moves the remembered location from one hemifield to the other. They reveal a soft interhemispheric handover subserved by local rhythms and their interhemispheric synchronization.
