Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Brain Structure Changes during Extensive Learning (2006, background): “Recent studies using functional imaging have demonstrated the contribution of the PPC as a key neural locus for storage of visual short-term memory (Linden et al., 2003; Todd and Marois, 2004).”
The Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) study protocol: a cross-sectional, lifespan, multidisciplinary examination of healthy cognitive ageing (2014, background): “Neurally, the capacity limit is reflected in posterior parietal cortex [52,53], although VSTM tasks activate a frontal-parietal “multiple demand” network [54], and visual memories can be decoded from occipital cortex [55,56].”
A new neural framework for visuospatial processing (2011, background): “In humans, the activity of these subdivisions is related to spatial working memory 71–73 .”
Working Memory Underpins Cognitive Development, Learning, and Education (2013, neutral): “There are brain areas associated with the focus of attention and with working memory across modalities (Cowan 2011; Cowan et al. 2011b; Todd and Marois 2004; Xu and Chun 2006).”
Mechanism for top-down control of working memory capacity (2009, background): “The lateral inhibition mechanism explains the experimentally observed, sublinear relationship between load and activity (9, 11, 12), even including the supracapacity activity dip (10–12) (Fig.”
The neuroprotective effects of bilingualism upon the inferior parietal lobule: A Structural Neuroimaging Study in Aging Chinese Bilinguals (2015, neutral): “…verbal short-term memory tasks (Wise et al., 1991; Zatorre, Evans, Meyer, & Gjedde, 1992) and in attentional tasks when revaluating conflicting choice options (Rushworth, Paus, & Sipila, 2001), and more generally in task related attention processing (Muller et al., 2003; Todd & Marois, 2004).”
Visual working memory representation as a topological defined perceptual object. (2019, result): “Neuroscience data from sources such as magnetic resonance imaging, human electroencephalography, and monkey neurophysiology have also provided supportive results (Reinhart et al., 2012; Todd & Marois, 2004; Vogel & Machizawa, 2004).”
Top-down Enhancement and Suppression of the Magnitude and Speed of Neural Activity (2005, result): “This finding was obtained by holding the perceptual load constant and varying only the mnemonic load, differentiating this study from others that have explored capacity limitations of working memory by varying perceptual load ( Todd & Marois, 2004; Vogel & Machizawa, 2004).”
Visual Topography of Human Intraparietal Sulcus (2007, background): “, 2007), visual short-term memory (Todd and Marois, 2004; Xu and Chun, 2006), and visual attention (Culham et al.”
A taxonomy of external and internal attention. (2011, neutral): “At the same time, increasing the complexity of features reduces overall capacity (Alvarez & Cavanagh 2004, Todd & Marois 2004, Xu & Chun 2006; but see Awh et al. 2007).”
On the capacity of attention: its estimation and its role in working memory and cognitive aptitudes. (2005, background): “Todd and Marois (2004) measured fMRI and found that the visual-array comparison task caused capacity-limited activity in two small brain areas, the intra-occipital and intra-parietal sulci, during the inter-array period.”
Working memory as an emergent property of the mind and brain. (2006, neutral): “…strongest over posterior parietal and lateral occipital electrode sites, suggesting that its generators may have corresponded to the (bilateral) region of intraparietal sulcus/intraoccipital sulcus whose fMRI signal scaled with a group estimate of VSTM capacity in a study by Todd and Marois (2004).”
