Is There a Canonical Cortical Circuit for the Cholinergic System? Anatomical Differences Across Common Model Systems
Acetylcholine (ACh) is believed to act as a neuromodulator in cortical circuits that support cognition, specifically in processes including learning, memory consolidation, vigilance, arousal and attention. The cholinergic modulation of cortical processes is studied in many model systems including ro...
