Research Abstract |
For establish an internal model of external world, it is necessary to integrate not only the bottom-up (sensory) information from an external world but the endogenous information called diffuse modulatory systems, attention and emotion, etc. One of signal from diffuse modulation systems to neural circuits, such as a hippocampus and a cortical substance, is intrinsic acetylcholine during a concentration, which is related to memory. In this work, the influence of acetylcholine on the integration of a bottom-up input in cells or cortical neural networks was investigated.
