Blocking muscarinic receptors in the olfactory bulb impairs performance on an olfactory short term memory task

Cholinergic inputs to cortical processing networks have long been associated with attentional and top-down processing. Experimental and theoretical studies suggest that cholinergic inputs to the main olfactory bulb (OB) can modulate both neural and behavioral odor discrimination. Previous experime...
