Question

A patient is awake while undergoing brain surgery because you're determined to confirm the neural basis of working memory. You have the patient look at three names for 1 second, and 10 seconds later you show him another name and ask him if it was included in the previously seen three names. While he's taking this working memory test, you want to record neural activity from his brain. The neurosurgeon tells you there is only time to lower an electrode in a single part of the brain. You: "Don't worry, I know where to record from. I want to put my electrode in his a) thalamus b) prefrontal cortex c) right-side Wernicke's area d) PFC Neurosurgeon: "What do you expect to find?" You: "If my PSC 135 professor was right, I should find a) nothing b) an event-related potential c) neural response to the three names during their 1-second display d) persistent spiking activity of neurons during the 10-second interval
