Cholinergic manipulations affect sensory responses but not attentional enhancement in macaque MT

Abstract Background Attentional modulation in the visual cortex of primates is characterized by multiplicative changes of sensory responses with changes in the attentional state of the animal. The cholinergic system has been linked to such gain changes in V1. Here, we aim to determine if a similar l...
