Cerebellar-driven cortical dynamics can enable task acquisition, switching and consolidation by Joseph Pemberton, Paul Chadderton, Rui Ponte Costa

“…Next, we demonstrate that, when trained in working memory tasks, the cerebellum can also underlie the maintenance of cognitive-specific dynamics in the cortex, explaining a range of optogenetic and behavioural observations. …”

Neurobehavioural Changes in a Patient with Bilateral Lesions of the Globus Pallidus by R. Haaxma, T. W. Robbins, M. James, W. H. Brouwer, J. G. Colebatch, C. D. Marsden

“…The cognitive changes are consistent with the view that the globus pallidus has important functions in mediating how internal representations of stimulus input are converted into various forms of action, for example, in planning solutions to problems and in working memory.…”

Psychophysiological Markers of Executive Functions during Copying Sentences by D.A. Momotenko, J.A. Gorbunov

“…It was found that the higher the level of development of executive functions (braking, switching and working memory), the higher the power of beta rhythms in the prefrontal and frontal areas. …”

Graph Theoretical Analysis of Semantic Fluency in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease by Guanyu Zhang, Jinghong Ma, Piu Chan, Zheng Ye

“…Semantic fluency is the ability to name items from a given category within a limited time, which relies on semantic memory, working memory, and executive function. Semantic disfluency is a common problem in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). …”

Cognitive Impairment and Fall Risk in Multiple Sclerosis: A Review Study by Negar Balali, Ashkan Irani, Seyed Mansoor Rayegani

“…Results: Cognitive skills associated with fall risk include information processing speed, ability to switch between tasks, cognitive flexibility, response inhibition, working memory, and visuospatial memory. However, verbal fluency is not associated with fall risk. …”

Measuring Fluid Intelligence in Healthy Older Adults by Mohammed K. Shakeel, Vina M. Goghari

“…Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices (RAPM) were used to measure fluid intelligence, Digit Span Sequencing (DSS) was used to measure working memory, Trail Making Test (TMT) was used to measure cognitive flexibility, Design Fluency Test (DFT) was used to measure creativity, and Tower Test (TT) was used to measure planning. …”

Continuous theta-burst stimulation demonstrates language-network-specific causal effects on syntactic processing by Chenyang Gao, Junjie Wu, Yao Cheng, Yuming Ke, Xingfang Qu, Mingchuan Yang, Gesa Hartwigsen, Luyao Chen

“…Second-order representational similarity analysis (RSA) results revealed that cTBS effects on IFG + pTL selectively depended on the hierarchical embedding depth, a key measure of syntactic hierarchical complexity, whereas the effects on IFG + SPL were sensitive to the dependency length, a crucial index reflecting the working memory load. Collectively, these findings reveal the specific causal relevance of the language areas for hierarchical syntactic processing, separable from other general cognitive (such as working memory) capacities. …”

Noradrenergic Modulation of Cognition in Health and Disease by Olga Borodovitsyna, Matthew Flamini, Daniel Chandler

“…In addition to its effects on sensory processing and waking behavior, norepinephrine is now recognized as a contributor to various aspects of cognition, including attention, behavioral flexibility, working memory, and long-term mnemonic processes. Two areas of dense noradrenergic innervation, the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus, are particularly important with regard to these functions. …”

Common neuropsychological assessment measures as performance indicators in neuropsychological rehabilitation: An exploratory correlational study by Liliana Mendes, Artemisa Rocha Dores, Irene Palmares Carvalho, Fernando Barbosa

“…This study suggests that the results of specific conventionally administered neuropsychological tests can be good indicators of the patients’ performance in the cognitive training of attention and working memory. On the other hand, none of the tests provided valuable data regarding the patients’ ability to perform the executive functioning training tasks, perhaps because those appeal to everyday situations, which are not adequately represented in the administered tests. …”

Semantic information boosts the acquisition of a novel grammatical system in different presentation formats by Katharina Wendebourg, Birgit Öttl, Detmar Meurers, Barbara Kaup

“…Furthermore, we suggest that, consistent with multimedia learning theories, the pictorial presentation format of Experiment 1 helped to use working memory capacity efficiently, which may have led to the generation of more explicit knowledge.…”

Listen, Learn, Like! Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Involved in the Mere Exposure Effect in Music by Anders C. Green, Klaus B. Bærentsen, Hans Stødkilde-Jørgensen, Andreas Roepstorff, Peter Vuust

“…We found neural activations as a function of previous exposure in bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal and inferior parietal cortex, probably reflecting retrieval and working memory-related processes. This was despite the fact that the task during scanning was to judge liking, not recognition, thus suggesting that appreciation of music relies strongly on memory processes. …”

Comparative discourse analysis of logical memory recall in normal elderly from rural and urban areas by Lúcia Inês de Araújo, Sérgio Leme da Silva, Leonardo Caixeta

“…There are differences in the performance of the elderly when considering different levels of education for neuropsychological tests associated with immediate recalls (but not with delayed recall), suggesting that working memory systems may be more impacted by years of schooling than the coding memory system.…”
