Reconciling persistent and dynamic hypotheses of working memory coding in prefrontal cortex

Working memory (WM) is represented in persistent activity of single neurons as well as a dynamic population code. Here, the authors find that neurons flexibly switch their coding according to current attention while those with stable resting activity maintain WM representations through dynamic activ...
