Acetylcholine and noradrenaline are major neuromodulators that affect sensory processing
in the cortex. Modality-specific sensory information is processed in defined areas of the …

Certain basal forebrain neurons encode the learned reinforcement value of objects: they
respond differentially to visual stimuli that signal availability of fruit juice (positively …

The conceptual basis and continuing development of Alheid and Heimer's [Alheid, GF,
Heimer, L., 1988. New perspectives in basal forebrain organization of special relevance for …

Previous studies showed a role for the amygdala central nucleus (CN) in attentional
processing during the acquisition of Pavlovian associations. Both the acquisition of …

The extrathalamic relay from the brainstem reticular formation to the cerebral cortex in the
basal forebrain has been thought to be constituted predominantly, if not exclusively, by …

One of the enduring mysteries of brain function concerns the process of cognitive control.
How does complex and seemingly wilful behaviour emerge from interactions between …

The largest part of the primate prefrontal cortex has no homolog in other mammals.
Accordingly, it probably confers some advantage that other mammals either lack or attain …

A successor to the acclaimed Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex, Understanding the
Prefrontal Cortex presents a careful study of the anatomical connections in this brain region …

The parietal lobe forms about 20% of the human cerebral cortex and is divided into two
major regions, the somatosensory cortex and the posterior parietal cortex. Posterior parietal …

Remarkable advances in the identification, cloning, and localization of ion channels and
receptors in the central nervous system have opened up unprecedented possibilities for …
