The effect of rehearsal rate and memory load on verbal working memory (2015, neutral): “…SPL While it has been previously shown that the domain-general executive regions MFG and SPL are not required for WM tasks with low memory loads (Barbey et al., 2013; D’Esposito & Postle, 1999a; Hamidi et al., 2008; Postle et al., 2006b), the current study asked whether these regions are…”
Distributed theta networks support the control of working memory: Evidence from scalp and intracranial EEG (2025, unknown): “In contrast, lateral PFC, often implicated in WM manipulation and top-down regulation (D’Esposito & Postle, 2015; Barbey et al., 2013; Johnson et al., 2017), tended to show dissimilarity in our scalp-iEEG comparisons.”
Dose-dependent power and connectivity modulation of low frequency oscillations through transcranial magnetic stimulation in non-human primates (2026, unknown): “Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have highlighted the DLPFC as a key structure for working memory (12,13), executive function (14,15), cognitive control (16,17), decision-63 making (18–20), and emotion regulation (21–23).”
Modulating prefrontal cortex activity to alleviate stress-induced working memory deficits: A transcranial direct current (tDCS) study (2024, unknown): “The dlPFC plays a crucial role in WM processes, and disruption of dlPFC activity leads to impaired WM task performance (Barbey et al., 2013).”
Enhancing visual working memory in schizophrenia: effects of frontoparietal theta tACS in low-performing patients (2024, background): “In particular, the frontoparietal network consisting of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and posterior parietal cortex (PPC) are involved in distinct processes of VWM processing 18 – 24 , and their activity levels seem to correlate with one ’ s VWM bottleneck and performance 25 .”
Spatiotemporal patterns of theta-band activity during rapid-eye movement sleep: a magnetoencephalography analysis (2024, methodology): “The dlPFC plays a crucial role in maintaining and manipulating information during working memory tasks (Barbey et al., 2013; Blumenfeld & Ranganath, 2006).”
Inhibitory control in WM gate-opening: Insights from alpha desynchronization and norepinephrine activity under atDCS stimulation (2024, methodology): “As a target region for tDCS stimulation we used the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) because of (i) its critical role in WM maintenance (Barbey et al., 2013; Lin et al., 2022), (ii) WM gating processes (Badre, 2012; Hazy et al., 2007; Nir-Cohen et al., 2023, 2020), and (iii) a known…”
