Cholinergic activation of M2 receptors leads to context-dependent modulation of feedforward inhibition in the visual thalamus.

In many brain regions, inhibition is mediated by numerous classes of specialized interneurons, but within the rodent dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN), a single class of interneuron is present. dLGN interneurons inhibit thalamocortical (TC) neurons and regulate the activity of TC neurons evok...
