J Neurocytol 31:373-85. 2002..The development of language epitomizes the development of temporal integrative cognitive functions and their underlying neural substrate, notably the lateral prefrontal cortex and other late-developing cortical regions...
Cortex and memory: emergence of a new paradigmJoaquin M Fuster
University of California, Los Angeles, Semel Institute, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA
J Cogn Neurosci 21:2047-72. 2009..Cognits overlap and interconnect profusely, even across hierarchical levels (heterarchically), whereby a neuron can be part of many memory networks and thus many memories or items of knowledge...

UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, Los Angeles, CA 90024, USA
Exp Brain Res 133:66-70. 2000..With those two complementary and temporally symmetrical cognitive functions of active memory for the sensory past and for the motor future, the prefrontal cortex secures the temporal closure at the top of the perception-action cycle...
Prefrontal neurons in networks of executive memoryJ M Fuster
Neuropsychiatric Institute, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90024, USA

Cortical dynamics of memoryJ M Fuster
UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, 760 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90024, USA
Int J Psychophysiol 35:155-64. 2000..The recurrent reentry may occur within local circuits as well as between separate cortical areas. In either case. recurrence binds together the associated components of the network and thus of the memory it represents...

School of Medicine, University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California 90024, USA
Neurobiol Learn Mem 70:268-74. 1998..That activation is at least in part sustained by reentrant excitatory loops through the different neuronal assemblies that constitute the network and that represent the associated features of the memorandum...
[The reticular paradigm of cortical memory]J M Fuster
UCLA Medical School, Los Angeles, USA
Rev Neurol 50:S3-10. 2010..In the new -reticular- paradigm, memories and items of knowledge are made of widely distributed networks of neuron populations synaptically connected by experience...
Jackson and the frontal executive hierarchyJoaquin M Fuster
University of California Los Angeles, USA

Department of Psychiatry, School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles 90024, USA
Exp Brain Res 116:551-5. 1997..Further, the results suggest that some of these neurons are involved in short-term active memory and may, therefore, be part of cross-modal memory networks...
Mnemonic neuronal activity in somatosensory cortexY D Zhou
Department of Psychiatry, School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles 90024, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 93:10533-7. 1996..The results indicate that cells in early stages of cortical somatosensory processing participate in haptic short-term memory...
