Both attentional signals from frontal cortex and neuromodulatory signals from basal forebrain (BF) have been shown to influence information processing in the primary visual cortex (V1). These two systems exert complementary effects on their targets, including increasing firing rates and decreasing interneuronal correlations. Interestingly, experimental research suggests that the cholinergic system...
Attentional mechanisms allow the brain to enhance the representation and transmission of certain signals at the expense of others. The basal forebrain has been shown to play an important role in attention through its diverse set of interactions with sensory and associational areas. A recent empirical study indicates that the nucleus basalis, a subset of neurons located in the basal forebrain, is important...
