New Results: Working Memory Load Modulates Neuronal Coupling

Miller Laboratory, Neuroscience

We show how limitations in cognitive capacity (how many thoughts you can think at the same time – very few) may be due to changes in rhythmic coupling between cortical areas.  More specifically, feedback coupling breaks down when capacity is exceeded.
