Abstract
I propose working memory be considered, not as a process for static maintenance in a particular set of brain regions, but rather as a dynamic process unfolding to serve future needs. Brain regions such as the hippocampus, or sensory and motor regions, may be necessarily recruited during this process, depending on task demands. Information stored in working memory is thus a distributed representation reflected in the structural and functional state of multiple brain areas and the trajectory of that state over time. Recent research is discussed in support of this view.
期刊介绍：
Cognitive Neuroscience publishes high quality discussion papers and empirical papers on any topic in the field of cognitive neuroscience including perception, attention, memory, language, action, social cognition, and executive function. The journal covers findings based on a variety of techniques such as fMRI, ERPs, MEG, TMS, and focal lesion studies. Contributions that employ or discuss multiple techniques to shed light on the spatial-temporal brain mechanisms underlying a cognitive process are encouraged.
