This review provides an overview of the interaction between the mammalian cholinergic
system and circadian system, and its possible role in time memory. Several studies made …

The evolutionarily conserved lateral habenula (LHb) enables dynamic responses to
continually changing contexts and environmental conditions. A model is proposed to …

Nicotine has been shown in a variety of studies to improve cognitive function including
learning, memory and attention. Nicotine both stimulates and desensitizes nicotinic …

The lateral habenula (LHb) and the ventral tegmental area (VTA), which form interconnected
circuits, have important roles in the crucial control of sensory and cognitive motifs. Signaling …

Working memory is a cognitive ability allowing the temporary storage of information to solve
problems or adjust behavior. While working memory is known to mainly depend on the …

Key points Neurones of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) contain a molecular clock that
drives these cells to exhibit daily rhythms in electrical activity. The molecular clock may also …

Background The aim of the present study was to evaluate the involvement of the cholinergic
