This should probably be merged with prefrontal cortex or working memory or Working Memory Model. WU03 22:50, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to be all rather out of date. Whoever wrote this should read the stuff from Jeff Hawkins and the Redwood Neuroscience Institute. I don't believe neither attention nor memory is a helpful concept at all for understanding the prefrontal cortex.Hirsch.im.wald 07:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What you believe does not seem relevant, memory and attention are two of the main things the brain does. And take Hawkins with a grain of salt. His ideas may be interesting (yes, I've read his book), but he strikes me more of a salesman than as a scientist, lifting many ideas from the literature without providing references. Anyhow: the subject of this page does have promise for an individual article, but right now it's a one paragraph history and a one paragraph summary of a PLoS paper that sounds like it was added by one of the authors. Instead of merging, a little bit more background providing other recent views would make this a good article, I think. digfarenough (talk) 22:16, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
