The amygdala complex has long been known as part of the neural circuitry critical for
emotion. Beyond its role in emotional reactivity, studies of animal models and patients with …

Studies of the function of the basal forebrain have focused on cholinergic neurons that project
to cortical and limbic structures critical for various cognitive abilities. Recent experiments …

Based on recent molecular genetics, as well as functional and quantitative anatomical
studies, the basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic projections, once viewed as a diffuse system, are …

Profound neuronal dysfunction in the entorhinal cortex contributes to early loss of short-term
memory in Alzheimer's disease 1 , 2 , 3 . Here we show broad neuroprotective effects of …

Reciprocal connections between the orbitofrontal cortex and the basolateral nucleus of the
amygdala may provide a critical circuit for the learning that underlies goal-directed behavior. …

Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is part of a network of structures involved in adaptive behavior and
decision making. Interconnections between OFC and basolateral amygdala (ABL) may be …

The contribution of the basal forebrain cholinergic system in mediating plasticity of cortical
sensorimotor representations was examined in the context of normal learning. The effects of …

Interconnections between orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and basolateral amygdala (ABL) are
critical for encoding and using associative information about the motivational significance of …

… The focal motor cortex lesion used in this study is a modification Baxter, MG, and Chiba, AA
(… Standard microelectrode stimulation techniques were used to deChiba, AA, Bushnell, PJ, …

Magnocellular neurons in the basal forebrain provide the major cholinergic innervation of
cortex. Recent research suggests that this cholinergic system plays an important role in the …
