Additional information
<24> The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is linked to higher cognitive abilities like rule learning and planning. As first revealed in this study on the combination of state-of-the-art electrophysiological and advanced statistical tools, the PFC, different from hippocampus, build up 'abstract' representations of context and time through monotonically increasing differences in population activity. This work is thus a highly significant and novel contribution to our understanding of PFC function which, although published only in 2012, has already been followed up in influential journals like Neuron and Journal of Neuroscience.
