While working memory (WM) allows us to store past information, its function is to guide future behavior. Given this role, the tight link between how WMs are maintained and how they are read out to be transformed into context-appropriate actions remains relatively unexplored. Beyond helping us understand memory-guided behavior, focusing on WM readout may also help us better understand the neural basis of memory maintenance.
当工作记忆（WM）允许我们存储过去的信息时，它的作用是指导未来的行为。鉴于这一作用，WM 如何保持以及如何将其读出以转化为上下文适当的动作之间的紧密联系仍然相对未被探索。除了帮助我们理解记忆引导的行为之外，关注 WM 的读出也可能有助于我们更好地理解记忆保持的神经基础。
