Real-world objects scaffold visual working memory for features: Increased neural delay activity when colors are remembered as part of meaningful objects Visual working memory is a core cognitive function that allows active storage of task-relevant visual information. While previous studies have postulated that the capacity of this system is fixed with...

New Preprint with @timbrady.bsky.social and @violastoermer.bsky.social : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Here we show increased neural delay activity associated with remembering features as part of real-world objects. 1/

the only time that that’s warranted is when the person asking the question already knows the answer they wanna hear, otherwise there really are no bad questions

Question for my neurobiology colleagues: what (if any) information do second messengers in neurons carry about their specific synapse of origin? In other words, if I were to measure only molecular signals in the soma, to what extent could I resolve a specific pattern of synaptic activation?
