Acetylcholine in the brain alters neuronal excitability, influences synaptic transmission,
induces synaptic plasticity, and coordinates firing of groups of neurons. As a result, it …

This meta-analysis explores the role of the posterior cerebellum Crus I/II in social
mentalizing. We identified over 200 functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies …

Dopamine (DA) is required for hippocampal-dependent memory and long-term potentiation
(LTP) at CA1 Schaffer collateral (SC) synapses. It is therefore surprising that exogenously …

Individual differences in working memory (WM) performance have rarely been related to
individual differences in the functional responsivity of the WM brain network. By neglecting …

The parallel fiber-Purkinje cell (PF-PC) synapse represents the point of maximal signal
divergence in the cerebellar cortex with an estimated number of about 60 billion synaptic …

Visual attention is the cognitive process that mediates the selection of important information
from the environment. This selection is usually controlled by bottom-up and top-down …

The molecular pathways underlying the induction and maintenance of long-term synaptic
plasticity have been extensively investigated revealing various mechanisms by which …

During the computations performed by the nervous system, its 'wiring diagram'—the map of
its neurons and synaptic connections—is dynamically modified and supplemented by …

The hippocampus receives two streams of information, spatial and nonspatial, via major
afferent inputs from the medial (MEC) and lateral entorhinal cortexes (LEC). The MEC and …

Long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) are generally assumed to be
cellular correlates for learning and memory. Different types of LTP induction protocols …
