Working memory refers to a limited capacity part of the human memory system that is responsible for the temporary storage and processing of information while cognitive tasks are performed. We will explore how memories can be represented by extensively overlapping groups of neurons that exhibit stereotypical time-locked spatiotemporal time-spiking patterns, called polychronous patterns and make further assumptions regarding the polychronous group span of different brain regions in association to working memory.
