Impairments on nonspatial self-ordered and externally ordered working memory tasks after lesions of the mid-dorsal part of the lateral frontal cortex in the monkey
M Petrides
Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University, Quebec, Canada.
Monkeys with lesions of the mid-dorsal part of the lateral frontal cortex,
which extends above the sulcus principalis as far as the midline (MDL
lesions), were shown to exhibit severe and long-lasting impairments on
certain nonspatial working memory tasks: the self- ordered and externally
ordered tasks (experiments 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8). These tasks, which were
modeled on similar ones previously used with patients, measure the capacity
to monitor, within working memory, self-generated choices and the
occurrence of externally ordered stimuli. Monkeys with lesions of the
adjacent posterior dorsolateral frontal cortex, which surrounds the arcuate
sulcus (PA lesions), performed as well as the normal control animals on
these tasks. Experiments 4 and 5 showed that the critical variable
accounting for the impairment on the self-ordered and externally ordered
working memory tasks by monkeys with MDL lesions is the size of the set of
stimuli that must be monitored. Furthermore, the MDL lesions did not affect
basic recognition memory (experiment 6), or primacy and recency mnemonic
effects [i.e., the capacity to discriminate between the initial (or final)
items and other items in a list of stimuli (experiments 4 and 7), or the
capacity to select from a set of stimuli on the basis of a learned fixed
sequence (experiment 9)]. Thus, lesions of the mid-dorsal part of the
lateral frontal cortex give rise to an impairment in working memory that
depends on the size of the set of the stimuli that have to be monitored.
