How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Distributed theta networks support the control of working memory: Evidence from scalp and intracranial EEG (2025, unknown): “…interest in the brain mechanisms that support executive control in WM, especially those that coordinate and manipulate information over time, a role often linked to the frontal lobe (Collette & Van der Linden, 2002; D’Esposito et al., 1995; Smith & Jonides, 1999; Johnson et al., 2017, 2022).”
The development of aperiodic neural activity in the human brain (2024, unknown): “Furthermore, our study lays the groundwork for investigating memory dysfunction in psychiatric disorders, many of which emerge during adolescence and young adulthood, and which show deviations in aperiodic activity from healthy populations 23–26 .”
Neural signatures of prioritization and facilitation in retrieving repeated items in visual working memory (2025, unknown): “More specifically, it has been shown that the frontal theta controls the endogenous attentional selection mechanisms of task-relevant items (Johnson et al., 2017; Sauseng et al., 2010).”
Cross-frequency coupling of frontal theta and posterior alpha is unrelated to the fidelity of visual long-term memory encoding (2022, result): “However, other research has alternatively suggested that frontal theta and posterior alpha play dissociable roles in human memory (Friese et al., 2013; Johnson et al., 2017; Riddle et al., 2020).”
