Inhibition of connexin43 hemichannels impairs spatial short-term memory without affecting spatial working memory [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016 Astrocytes are active players in higher brain function as they can release gliotransmitters, which are essential for synaptic plasticity. Various mechanisms have been proposed for gliotransmission, including vesicular mechanisms as well as non-vesicular ...

Microsaccades and Visual-Spatial Working Memory [PDF]
Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2012 Observers performed working memory tasks at varying retinal eccentricities, fixating centrally while microsaccade rates and directions were monitored. We show that microsaccades generate no interference in a working memory task, indicating that spatial ...

Vestibular pathology and spatial working memory
Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica, 2020 Thanks to wide central connections the vestibular system is not merely involved in reflexes, but it is also connected to cognitive processes. A growing body of literature suggests that it has a substantial impact on cognitive function. These cognitive interactions include memory, attention, mental imagery, body awareness and social cognition.

Spatial-sequential working memory in younger and older adults: age predicts backward recall performance within both age groups [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 Working memory is vulnerable to age-related decline, but there is debate regarding the age-sensitivity of different forms of spatial-sequential working memory task, depending on their passive or active nature.

Spatial working memory and Inhibition of Return [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2006 Recently we showed that maintaining a location in spatial working memory affects saccadic eye movement trajectories, in that the eyes deviate away from the remembered location (Theeuwes, Olivers, & Chizk, 2005). Such saccade deviations are assumed to

Decoding Spatial Versus Non-spatial Processing in Auditory Working Memory [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 ObjectiveResearch on visual working memory has shown that individual stimulus features are processed in both specialized sensory regions and higher cortical areas. Much less evidence exists for auditory working memory.

Brain areas involved in spatial working memory [PDF]
Neuropsychologia, 2005 Spatial working memory entails the ability to keep spatial information active in working memory over a short period of time. To study the areas of the brain that are involved in spatial working memory, a group of stroke patients was tested with a spatial

Effectiveness of working memory on visual-spatial working memory performance of pre-school children with learning problem at risk [PDF]
روانشناسی و روانپزشکی شناخت, 2022 Introduction: Specific learning difficulties are the existence of disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes which play a role in the process of understanding and using spoken or written language.
