Modes and models of forebrain cholinergic neuromodulation of cognition
As indicated by the profound cognitive impairments caused by cholinergic receptor
antagonists, cholinergic neurotransmission has a vital role in cognitive function, specifically …

Attention, uncertainty, and free-energy
H Feldman, KJ Friston - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2010 - frontiersin.org
We suggested recently that attention can be understood as inferring the level of uncertainty
or precision during hierarchical perception. In this paper, we try to substantiate this claim …

Testing the efficiency and independence of attentional networks
In recent years, three attentional networks have been defined in anatomical and functional
terms. These functions involve alerting, orienting, and executive attention. Reaction time …

Action understanding and active inference
We have suggested that the mirror-neuron system might be usefully understood as
implementing Bayes-optimal perception of actions emitted by oneself or others. To …

The activation of attentional networks
Alerting, orienting, and executive control are widely thought to be relatively independent
aspects of attention that are linked to separable brain regions. However, neuroimaging …

The validity of scopolamine as a pharmacological model for cognitive impairment: a review of animal behavioral studies
I Klinkenberg, A Blokland - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2010 - Elsevier
Scopolamine is used as a standard/reference drug for inducing cognitive deficits in healthy
humans and animals. Effects are often interpreted in terms of a role of acetylcholine in …

Alzheimer's disease and the basal forebrain cholinergic system: relations to β-amyloid peptides, cognition, and treatment strategies
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of degenerative dementia and is
characterized by progressive impairment in cognitive function during mid-to late-adult life …

Neuroimaging studies of shifting attention: a meta-analysis
This paper reports a meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies of attention shifting and
executive processes in working memory. We analyzed peak activation coordinates from 31 …

Unraveling the attentional functions of cortical cholinergic inputs: interactions between signal-driven and cognitive modulation of signal detection
Neurophysiological studies demonstrated that increases in cholinergic transmission in
sensory areas enhance the cortical processing of thalamic inputs. Cholinergic activity also …
