Divergent subregional information processing in mouse prefrontal cortex during working memory.
Article in Communications biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Working memory (WM) is a critical cognitive function allowing recent information to be temporarily held in mind to inform future action. This process depends on coordination between prefrontal cortex (PFC) subregions and other connected brain areas. However, few studies have examined the degree of functional specialization between these subregions throughout WM using electrophysiological recordings in freely-moving mice. Here we record single-units in three neighboring mouse medial PFC (mPFC) subregions-supplementary motor area (MOs), dorsomedial PFC (dmPFC), and ventromedial (vmPFC)-during a freely-behaving non-match-to-position WM task. The MOs is most active around task phase transitions, when it transiently represents the starting sample location. Dorsomedial PFC contains a stable population code, including persistent sample-location-specific firing during the delay period. Ventromedial PFC responds most strongly to reward-related information during choices. Our results reveal subregionally segregated WM computation in mPFC and motivate more precise consideration of the dynamic neural activity required for WM.
