Abstract
Encoding a sequence relies on one's memory for ordinal succession of events and is critical for episodic memory, spatial navigation, language, and other cognitive functions. Investigating the neural mechanisms underlying sequence working memory in the macaque prefrontal cortex, Xie et al. (Science, 375, 632-639, 2022) uncovered a novel integrated representation of temporal and spatial information in different subspaces of a high-dimensional neural state space, offering broad implications across comparative cognition and neuroscience.
