Development of Cortical Circuitry and Cognitive Function.
Goldman-Rakic, Patricia S.
Child Development, v58 n3 p601-22 Jun 1987

These studies have elucidated the basic neural circuitry underlying the delayed-response function in adult nonhuman primates and suggest that a critical mass of cortical synapses is important for the emergence of this cognitive function.
