contralateral targets that could be conveyed to ACC circuits. ACC neurons typically containing spatially tuned targets only when those targets are linked to outcomes for top-down controlled behaviour such as reward or attentional control demands3940. A linkage to these representations in the ACC could be crucial to prevent premature responding during the working memory delay consistent with previous human and monkey results, suggesting that ACC activation prevents impulsive responding4142. Indeed, it has been previously shown that neuronal spiking output can modulate the oscillatory activity by influencing the postsynaptic potentials43. Thus, spiking activity that is synchronized between ACC and FEF could index the ongoing coupling of task relevant information required for successful working memory performance.
