摘要: Magnocellular basal nucleus (MBN) neurons, a majority of which are cholinergic, directly influence cortical neurophysiology. These neurons appear to be part diffuse cortically projecting system that includes brain stem monoaminergic as well the MBN column. The entire appears modify excitability in relation an animal’s behavioral state (see Saper, 1987). By regulating activity within mantle, this can broad range cognitive phenomena (sensory processing, attention, motivation, memory). restrictive terminal distribution individual (Bigl et al., 1982: Price and Stern, 1983; Nyakas 1987) however, compared projections, may allow for more discrete modulation activity.
