Role of individual neurons and neural networks in cognitive functioning of the brain: a new insight.

abstract：:Working memory is devoted to the temporary storage and on-line manipulation of information. Recently, an integrative system termed the episodic buffer has been proposed to integrate and hold information being entered or retrieved from episodic memory. Although the brain system supporting such an integrative buffer is ...
