Muscarinic and Nicotinic Contribution to Contrast Sensitivity of Macaque Area V1 Neurons

Acetylcholine is a neuromodulator that shapes information processing in different cortical and subcortical areas. Cell type and location specific cholinergic receptor distributions suggest that acetylcholine in macaque striate cortex should boost feed-forward driven activity, while also reducing pop...
