Working memory (WM) allows for the temporary storage of sensory information to guide action. Encoding and maintenance of verbal working memory items involves the phonological loop. We search for a physiological correlate for the replay of items during WM maintenance in auditory cortex and in the medial temporal lobe. In a verbal WM task, 9 epilepsy patients heard strings of letters during encoding and then mentally replayed them during WM maintenance. In each trial, the string consisted of different letter items. While patients performed the task, we recorded from hippocampus, amygdala and ent
