Now out at @elife.bsky.social, a short Insight article I wrote highlighting this cool paper from Qing Yu's lab! They show how working memory representations in human frontal cortex are flexible based on task goals and rules. (elifesciences.org/articles/100..., elifesciences.org/articles/106...)

🧠 Thrilled to share our latest study, now published in PLOS Biology! 🌟

In this work, conducted by me and Dr. Qing Yu at the Institute of Neuroscience, we uncovered how the brain encodes and implements abstract task information (such as goals) in working memory.
The representation of abstract goals in working memory is supported by task-congruent neural geometry
Successful goal-directed behavior requires that abstract task goals are maintained and implemented in working memory - how does this occur? This neuroimaging study shows that the frontal cortex mainta...
