Cholinergic neuromodulation controls directed temporal communication in neocortex <i>in vitro</i>

Acetylcholine is the primary neuromodulator involved in cortical arousal in mammals. Cholinergic modulation is involved in conscious awareness, memory formation and attention &ndash; processes that involve intercommunication between different cortical regions. Such communication is achieved in p...
