The activity of single neurons was recorded extracellularly from the temporal pole of monkeys while they were performing a visual short-term memory task. Neurons in the ventral part of the temporal pole showed sustained firing during the memorization delay period of the task when the monkey was remembering particular visual stimuli. The presence and absence of the firing were correlated with the correct and incorrect performance of the task, respectively. The sustained firing showed oscillation. The data suggest that visual information was stored as sustained firing among certain group of neurons producing oscillations.
在猴子执行视觉短期记忆任务时，从其颞叶极区细胞外记录单个神经元的活动。在任务的记忆延迟期，当猴子记住特定视觉刺激时，颞叶极区腹侧的神经元表现出持续放电。放电的出现和不出现分别与任务的正确和错误表现相关。持续放电呈现出振荡。数据表明，视觉信息作为在产生振荡的特定神经元群中的持续放电而被存储。
