Basal forebrain cholinergic neurons influence cortical state, plasticity, learning, and
attention. They collectively innervate the entire cerebral cortex, differentially controlling …

ACh is a signaling molecule in the mammalian CNS, with well-documented influence over
cognition and behavior. However, the nature of cholinergic signaling in the brain remains …

Cholinergic neurons in the medial septum (MS) constitute a major source of cholinergic
input to the forebrain and modulate diverse functions, including sensory processing …

The basal forebrain provides the primary source of cholinergic input to the cortex, and it has
a crucial function in promoting wakefulness and arousal. However, whether rapid changes …

Based on recent molecular genetics, as well as functional and quantitative anatomical
studies, the basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic projections, once viewed as a diffuse system …

Basal forebrain cholinergic neurons constitute a major neuromodulatory system implicated
in normal cognition and neurodegenerative dementias. Cholinergic projections densely …

Activation of the cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain (BF) desynchronizes cortical
activity and enhances sensory processing during arousal and attention. How the cholinergic …

The basal forebrain (BF) houses major ascending projections to the entire neocortex that
have long been implicated in arousal, learning, and attention. The disruption of the BF has …

Basal forebrain cholinergic neurons (BFCNs) project throughout the cortex to regulate
arousal, stimulus salience, plasticity, and learning. Although often treated as a monolithic …

In addition to innervating the cerebral cortex, basal forebrain cholinergic (BFc) neurons send
a dense projection to the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BLA). In this study, we …
