Berger, Barbara and Sauseng, Paul (23. May 2022): Brain rhythms: How control gets into working memory. In: Current Biology, Vol. 32, No. 10: R479-R481

Abstract

New research suggests that frontal midline theta EEG activity in humans controls activity in parietal cortex associated with memory maintenance. In turn, the speed of this frontal theta is modulated by the number of items to be handled, potentially indicating strong bidirectional communication within a fronto-parietal network.
