This code simulates working memory in a large-scale cortical network of the macaque brain. The model is constrained by anatomical data and provides a simple framework to explain the widespread activation of cortical areas during working memory.

Model Type: Neural mass; Realistic Network

Region(s) or Organism(s): Neocortex

Receptors: NMDA
