In this article, we review the anatomical inputs and outputs to the mouse primary visual
cortex, area V1. Our survey of data from the Allen Institute Mouse Connectivity project …

Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the brain to reorganize the function and structure of its
connections in response to changes in the environment. Adult human visual cortex shows …

Learning to recognize and predict temporal sequences is fundamental to sensory perception
and is impaired in several neuropsychiatric disorders, but little is known about where and …

A primary function of the brain is to form representations of the sensory world. Its capacity to
do so depends on the relationship between signal correlations, associated with neuronal …

Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in older adults
that damages the brain and results in impaired memory, thinking and behaviour. The …

The basal forebrain (BF) plays crucial roles in arousal, attention, and memory, and its
impairment is associated with a variety of cognitive deficits. The BF consists of cholinergic …

Sensory systems are highly plastic, but the mechanisms of sensory plasticity remain unclear.
People with vision or hearing loss demonstrate significant neural network reorganization …

Basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic neurons provide the cerebral cortex with acetylcholine.
Despite the long-established involvement of these cells in sensory processing, attention …

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that plays a variety of roles in the central nervous system.
It was previously shown that blocking muscarinic receptors with a nonselective antagonist …

The cholinergic system is involved in cortical plasticity, attention, and learning. Within the
visual cortex the cholinergic system seems to play a role in visual perception. The …
