Topographic Organization of Cholinergic Innervation From the Basal Forebrain to the Visual Cortex in the Rat
Acetylcholine is an important neurotransmitter for the regulation of visual attention, plasticity, and perceptual learning. It is released in the visual cortex predominantly by cholinergic projections from the basal forebrain, where stimulation may produce potentiation of visual processes. However,...
