Contralateral cortical organisation of information in visual short-term memory: Evidence from lateralized brain activity during retrieval

► TCN reflects distinct generators during retrieval from VSTM than N2pc or SPCN. ► TCN is related to the retrieval of the target item representation in VSTM. ► TCN also reflects processing of the lateral distractor in VSTM. ► Ppc during recall suggests common initial processing for target and distractor.
