Correlations in background activity control persistent state stability and allow execution of working memory tasks

Working memory (WM) is tightly capacity limited, it requires selective information gating, active information maintenance, and rapid active updating. Hence performing a WM task needs rapid and controlled transitions between neural persistent activity and the resting state. We propose that changes in...
