1) J Cogn Neurosci: 3 structural mechanisms that had been hypothesized to underlie vsWM development during childhood were evaluated by simulating the model and comparing results to fMRI. It was concluded that inter-regional synaptic connection strength cause vsWM development. 2) J Integr Neurosci: Given the importance of fronto-parietal connections, we tested whether connection asymmetry affected resistance to distraction. We drew the conclusion that stronger frontal connections are beneficial. By comparing model results to EEG, we concluded that the brain indeed has stronger frontal-to-parietal connections than vice versa.

function showBold( name, choice, curr, ave, multipanel, fig0, filename )

% showBold displays a series of bold curves of simulations all
% belonging to a simulation series.
%
% name  : is either a path or a file name. 
%         1. When name is a path, it is a path to the catalog which
%            contains the simulations to be plotted. Those
%            simulations should be located in directories found in
%            a subdirectory of that path named DATA.
%         2. When name is a file name, it should be a file name
%            containing the name SERIES. That file contains the
%            simulations which are to be plotted
% choice: Type of bold signal. See bold.m for more
%            information. Default = 5
% curr  : If curr = 1, then synaptic currents are shown instead of
%            BOLD signal. Default = 0
% ave   : If ave = 1, then the average BOLD or current curve will
%            be plotted, otherwise single curves will be
%            plotted. Default = 0.
% multipanel: If multipanel = 1, then every signal will be plotted
%            in its own panel. Otherwise, all signals will be
%            plotted in the same panel. Default = 1.
% fig0  : The number of the figure where data should be plotted. Default = 1
