We found that neuronal activity maintained representation of the identity and context of a recently categorized stimulus, as well as interpreted the behavioral meaningfulness of the maintained trace.
During the categorization task, monkeys had to maintained representation of both stable (i.e., always far from boundaries) and changing (i.e., near the boundaries) values of dot stimuli to perform successfully, well after the initial learning had occurred.
For example, hyenas maintain representations of all group members' statuses, and they use status information to choose sides in conflicts, always siding with the higher status fighter [33].
Working memory (WM) supports many higher cognitive functions by maintaining representations of a limited number of items, and by selecting and attending to those representations which are most relevant for the current task.
Parietal cortex is known to maintain representations of the body [ 55].
This ventrolateral prefrontal region (VLPFC) is implicated in retrieving rule meanings and actively maintaining representations of the rule contingencies (Bunge 2004).
However, these technologies are limited by the level of contaminating DNA in enzymes, buffers, and reagents used during the amplification and by their abilities to maintain representation of the starting sample.
While maintaining representation of all systems in landscape-level protection plans [ 95], planners may need to balance the need to protect endemic species with the need for a representative sample of ecosystem type and function as well as other targets such as endangered species or carbon sequestration.
WM has, conversely, been thought of as a means of maintaining representations to voluntarily guide perceptual selective attention.
This phenomenon of maintained representation in the sensorimotor cortex, allowed us to reliably localise the representation of the missing hand (Makin et al., 2013).
