Even at the highest levels of cortex, there is some independence between the cerebral hemispheres requiring their coordination. Redundant, weakly connected prefrontal hemispheres balance precision and capacity in spatial working memory www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #neuroscience
Redundant, weakly connected prefrontal hemispheres balance precision and capacity in spatial working memory
How the prefrontal hemispheres coordinate to adapt to spatial working memory (WM) demands remains an open question. Recently, two models have been proposed: A specialized model, where each hemisphere governs contralateral behavior, and a redundant model, where both hemispheres equally guide behavior in the full visual space. To explore these alternatives, we analyzed simultaneous bilateral prefrontal cortex recordings from three macaque monkeys performing a visuo-spatial WM task. Each hemisphere represented targets across the full visual field and equally predicted behavioral imprecisions. Furthermore, memory errors were weakly correlated between hemispheres, suggesting that redundant, weakly coupled prefrontal hemispheres support spatial WM. Attractor model simulations showed that the hemispheric redundancy improved precision in simple tasks, whereas weak inter-hemispheric coupling allowed for specialized hemispheres in complex tasks. This interhemispheric architecture reconciles previous findings thought to support distinct models into a unified architecture, providing a versatile interhemispheric architecture that adapts to varying cognitive demands. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
