The neural circuitry underlying spatial working memory task as envisioned by Goldman-Rakic and colleagues [6]. A. The oculomotor delayed response (ODR) task, a test of spatial working memory. B. The region of the monkey dorsolateral PFC dedicated to spatial working memory. PS=principal sulcus; AS=arcuate sulcus. C. A representative neuron in PFC with spatially tuned firing during the delay period of the ODR task. For details, see [7]. D. The PFC microcircuits subserving spatially tuned firing during the delay period in a spatial working memory task.
