摘要: The widespread pattern of connectivity between the basal forebrain and cortical subcortical brain structures involved in memory make it an important locus study goal understanding mnemonic processing brain. This chapter describes anatomical, behavioral, electrophysiological characteristics underlying forebrain’s contribution to memory. provides a detailed account anatomical patterns, effects lesioning or its component subregions on memory, cell types found forebrain, properties neurons oscillatory activity which may underlie processing.
