Resumen

El gran auge que ha experimentado en los últimos años el estudio de la memoria operativa, hace necesaria la recopilación de los hallazgos más relevantes de su funcionamiento y fisiología. En concreto, los estudios que a continuación se presentan tratan de determinar la naturaleza del componente viso-espacial de la memoria operativa. Para ello, se han recopilado investigaciones realizadas tanto en primates como en humanos. Éstas también incluyen estudios con muestra clínica. De este conjunto de investigaciones se desprende que hay una red de áreas corticales implicadas en la retención de un estímulo viso-espacial (p. ej. corteza prefrontal, áreas parietotemporales y occipitotemporales): y que estas regiones están muy próximas o posiblemente son las mismas que aquellas que codifican las características sensoriales de los estímulos. Es importante mantener una sintonía entre el laboratorio y la clínica diaria, que en último término va a ser la beneficiaria de los nuevos hallazgos sobre memoria viso-espacial
