Cerebellar Projections to the Prefrontal Cortex of the Primate (2001, background): “However, there is some agreement that dorsal areas of the prefrontal cortex are involved in spatial working memory and planning and are a major site of termination of the “dorsal stream” of visual processing, whereas ventral areas of the prefrontal cortex are involved in the working memory for objec”

Interactions between frontal cortex and basal ganglia in working memory: A computational model (2001, background): “(1996) proposed their own overarching theory of the frontalcortex–basal-ganglia system, which is closely related to other ideas (Fuster, 1989; Owen et al., 1993; Passingham, 1993).”
An integrative theory of prefrontal cortex function. (2001, background): “…attention and the control of behavior (Ferrier 1876, Bianchi 1922), and investigators since have interpreted the pattern of deficits following PFC damage as a loss of the ability to acquire and use behavior-guiding rules (Shallice 1982, Duncan 1986, Passingham 1993, Grafman 1994, Wise et al 1996).”

Right inferior prefrontal cortex mediates response inhibition while mesial prefrontal cortex is responsible for error detection (2003, background): “In which case, rather than specific to error detection (or response competition), mesial prefrontal cortex activation would be part of a more generic attentional network providing increased “attention to action” or attention allocation (Passingham, 1993; Posner and Dehaene, 1994; FernandezDuque et a”
