Working Memory 2.0 (2018, background): “Multiple items can be simultaneously held if each item engages non-overlapping ensembles (Almeida et al., 2015; Edin et al., 2009).”
Aperiodic EEG and 7T MRSI evidence for maturation of E/I balance supporting the development of working memory through adolescence (2024, background): “Similarly, the association between spatial span and decreases in exponent suggest that age related improvement in working memory capacity are supported by the optimization of the balance of excitation and inhibition (Lu et al., 2023; Barak and Tsodyks, 2014; Edin et al., 2009).”
Frontal effective connectivity increases with task demands and time on task: a Dynamic Causal Model of electrocorticogram in macaque monkeys (2022, result): “This interpretation in line with previous findings considered in terms of working memory [67, 42].”
