TLDR
A crucial role for working memory in temporary information processing and guidance of complex behavior has been recognized for many decades, and recent data and models indicate that working memory may also be based on synaptic plasticity and thatWorking memory can operate on non-consciously perceived information.About:

Recent advances in physical reservoir computing: A review
Gouhei Tanaka,Toshiyuki Yamane,Jean Benoit Héroux,Ryosho Nakane,Naoki Kanazawa,Seiji Takeda,Hidetoshi Numata,Daiju Nakano,Akira Hirose +8 more
TL;DR: An overview of recent advances in physical reservoir computing is provided by classifying them according to the type of the reservoir to expand its practical applications and develop next-generation machine learning systems.

The Distributed Nature of Working Memory
Thomas B. Christophel,P. Christiaan Klink,P. Christiaan Klink,Bernhard Spitzer,Pieter R. Roelfsema,Pieter R. Roelfsema,Pieter R. Roelfsema,John-Dylan Haynes +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the propensity to produce persistent activity is a general feature of cortical networks and may have to shift focus from asking where working memory can be observed in the brain to how a range of specialized brain areas together transform sensory information into a delayed behavioral response.

Surviving threats: neural circuit and computational implications of a new taxonomy of defensive behaviour
TL;DR: This work proposes a hierarchical taxonomy of defensive behaviour on the basis of known psychological processes and uses this taxonomy to guide a summary of findings regarding the underlying neural circuits.

Human Connectomics across the Life Span.
Xi-Nian Zuo,Ye He,Richard F. Betzel,Stan Colcombe,Olaf Sporns,Michael P. Milham,Michael P. Milham +6 more
TL;DR: A generative framework for computationally modeling the connectome over the human life span is proposed and initial findings that across the life span, the human connectome gradually shifts from an 'anatomically driven' organization to one that is more 'topological' are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistently active neurons in human medial frontal and medial temporal lobe support working memory.
TL;DR: Direct evidence is revealed for a distributed network of persistently active neurons supporting working memory maintenance in the human medial frontal cortex and medial temporal lobe while subjects held up to three items in memory.

The magical number seven, plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory of information as discussed by the authors provides a yardstick for calibrating our stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of our subjects and provides a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

The magical number seven plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory provides us with a yardstick for calibrating the authors' stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of their subjects, and the concepts and measures provided by the theory provide a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

The unity and diversity of executive functions and their contributions to complex "Frontal Lobe" tasks: a latent variable analysis.
Akira Miyake,Naomi P. Friedman,Michael J. Emerson,Alexander H. Witzki,Amy Howerter,Tor D. Wager +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that it is important to recognize both the unity and diversity ofExecutive functions and that latent variable analysis is a useful approach to studying the organization and roles of executive functions.

An integrative theory of prefrontal cortex function
Earl K. Miller,Jonathan D. Cohen +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that cognitive control stems from the active maintenance of patterns of activity in the prefrontal cortex that represent goals and the means to achieve them, which provide bias signals to other brain structures whose net effect is to guide the flow of activity along neural pathways that establish the proper mappings between inputs, internal states, and outputs needed to perform a given task.

Chapter 11 Working memory
TL;DR: This chapter demonstrates the functional importance of dopamine to working memory function in several ways and demonstrates that a network of brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex, is critical for the active maintenance of internal representations.
