I'm putting together a reading list for my graduate class on executive function (starting next Tuesday). While doing so, I discovered that virtually all chapters in this 2024 volume on the frontal lobes are OPEN ACCESS (eds: Banich, Haber, & Robbins). Nice! I thought some of you might be interested.

An in-depth investigation of the structure, neuronal mechanisms, and computations of the frontal lobe that enable higher-level thought.Experts from neurobi

In our new paper, we explain why brains contain 'mixed-selectivity'. It enhances the brain's flexibility and intelligence, helping us incorporate all relevant information without becoming overwhelmed by what's not.

How the brain is flexible enough for a complex world (without being thrown into chaos)
Many neurons exhibit “mixed selectivity.” They can integrate multiple inputs and participate in multiple computations. Mechanisms such as oscillations and neuromodulators recruit their participation a...

New paper alert! 🙌 In our new replication study led by @sjiang.bsky.social, we found no effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on visual working memory! Out in Communications Psychology: www.nature.com/articles/s44... #workingmemory
TDCS over PPC or DLPFC does not improve visual working memory capacity - Communications Psychology
In contrast to recent findings, a replication study shows no effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on visual working memory.
