Memory of monkeys (Macaca mulatta) with lesions in prefrontal cortex. by Passingham, R

“…In this experiment, the tissue in sulcus principalis was removed in rhesus monkeys, and they were given 25 spatial locations to remember. They were poor at the task from the first. …”

Prefrontal interactions reflect future task operations. by Sakai, K, Passingham, R

“…Subjects were instructed to remember a sequence of positions or letters, either in the order presented or in the reverse order. …”

The inferior frontal gyrus and phonological processing: an investigation using rTMS. by Nixon, P, Lazarova, J, Hodinott-Hill, I, Gough, P, Passingham, R

“…However, when delivered later in the trial, as the subjects compared the remembered word with a given pseudoword, rTMS did not impair accuracy. …”

Parahippocampal reactivation signal at retrieval after interruption of rehearsal. by Sakai, K, Rowe, J, Passingham, R

“…The primary role of the PHC in retrieval may be to trigger the reactivation of these cortical areas that had maintained the remembered items, thereby reactivating the information that is no longer maintained on-line.…”

Premotor cortex and the retrieval of movement. by Passingham, R

“…Yet other monkeys with bilateral lesions in dorsal premotor cortex had little difficulty in remembering a movement if they had just been forced to make it a few seconds earlier. …”

Working memory for location and time: activity in prefrontal area 46 relates to selection rather than maintenance in memory. by Rowe, J, Passingham, R

“…Influential proposals include a role in the maintenance of domain-specific information, and the processes of executive functions on remembered information. We used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging to demonstrate a functional dissociation within prefrontal cortex in terms of the components of complex working memory tasks. …”

Imaging the mental components of a planning task. by Rowe, J, Owen, A, Johnsrude, I, Passingham, R

“…These data show that the activity of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on the TOL can be accounted for by the components of generating, selecting and/or remembering mental moves. The task of relating the moves to the goal involves a comparison with a representation of the goal in posterior association areas. …”

Anatomy of motor learning. I. Frontal cortex and attention to action. by Jueptner, M, Stephan, K, Frith, C, Brooks, D, Frackowiak, R, Passingham, R

“…New learning differs from the attention condition in that the subjects generated moves, monitored the outcomes, and remembered the responses that had been successful. All these are nonroutine operations to which the subjects must attend. …”
