Whole-brain results. A, A broad network of regions exhibited a greater linear effect during the Memory task relative to the Control task, including bilateral PFC subregions, basal ganglia, and thalamus (see Table 1). B, Directed functional connectivity between bilateral fusiform gyrus and combined dorsal PFC regions predicted participants’ behavioral performance during the Memory task, indicating that information flow from perceptual to dorsal PFC regions is optimal for task performance.
