Rostral-Caudal Gradients of Abstraction Revealed by Multi-Variate Pattern Analysis of Working Memory

Aperiodic neural timescales in prefrontal cortex dilate with increased task abstraction (2025, unknown): “That is, caudal regions of the frontal cortex track the planning and execution of concrete motor action, whereas more rostral regions track progressively higher-order, abstract task goals and context (20,29,66–72).”
Causal role of cross-frequency coupling in distinct components of cognitive control (2021, unknown): “…in the dorsal premotor area of the dorsal attention network and delta oscillations in the anterior middle frontal gyrus of the executive control network, similar to the networks found in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study that manipulated task abstraction (Nee and Brown, 2012).”
