Concurrent representations in distinct cortical regions enhance visuospatial working memory, supporting robust storage.
The study found that orientation representations formed a gradient of abstraction across sensory and anterior cortical areas.
fMRI analysis with 40 participants revealed interactions between orientation and semantic codes during memory tasks.
These findings highlight a distributed model for working memory, showcasing varied representation types in cortical activity.
