    Cooling the prefrontal cortex or inferotemporal cortex in monkeys reversibly altered neural activity in the other region. This disruption impaired visual short-term memory and increased errors.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cognitive Neuroscience
    • Primate Research

    Background:

    • The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) and inferotemporal cortex (IT) are crucial for visual short-term memory.
    • Understanding the functional interactions between these regions is key to elucidating memory mechanisms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the mutual influence between dlPFC and IT during a visual short-term memory task.
    • To determine the role of corticocortical connections in visual discrimination and memory retention.

    Main Methods:

    • Monkeys performed a delayed matching-to-sample task.
    • Bilateral cooling (to 20°C) was applied to dlPFC or IT cortex.
    • Simultaneously, neuronal activity was recorded from the contralateral cortex using microelectrodes.

    Main Results:

    • Remote cooling induced reversible changes in spontaneous and task-related neuronal discharge in both dlPFC and IT.
    • Cooling affected neuronal responses to visual samples and during the memory delay period.
    • Task performance errors increased, and color-dependent neuronal differences diminished following cooling.

    Conclusions:

    • Mutual influences between dlPFC and IT, likely via corticocortical connections, are functionally significant.
    • These interactions are essential for effective visual discrimination and short-term memory.
