The Role of the Prefrontal Cortex in Working Memory for Visual Motion [ 2008 - 2012 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Leo Lui (Principal investigator)

Brief description As objects of interest may not always be in one's view, it is important to store information about their spatial locations for future reference. For example, you could reach for a beverage without taking your eyes from this application. While this may be effortless, such tasks are fundamentally complex, requiring spatial information to be coded, stored in memory and retrieved at appropriate times. This proposal examines how interactions between different brain areas allow this to happen.
