A 1989 paper by Patricia Goldman-Rakic and colleagues reported that the prefrontal cortex coded the visual space during working memory. This landmark work not only offered a biological explanation for this cognitive function, but also opened up a wide field of research aimed at understanding the biological bases of various cognitive functions.

视觉空间的记忆图

帕特里夏·戈德曼-拉基克 (Patricia Goldman-Rakic) 及其同事在 1989 年发表的一篇论文报告称，前额叶皮层在工作记忆期间对视觉空间进行编码。这项具有里程碑意义的工作不仅为这种认知功能提供了生物学解释，而且开辟了旨在理解各种认知功能的生物学基础的广泛研究领域。
