Abstract: Cholinergic activation regulates cognitive function, particularly long‐term memory consolidation. This Review presents an overview of the anatomical, neurochemical, and pharmacological evidence supporting the cholinergic regulation of Pavlovian contextual and cue‐conditioned fear learning and extinction. Basal… read more here.

Abstract: Neural circuits undergo experience-dependent plasticity to form long-lasting memories. Excitatory projection neurons are considered to be the primary neuronal substrate for memory acquisition and storage. However, inhibitory interneurons control the activity of projection neurons in… read more here.
