Dynamic Cholinergic Tone in the Basal Forebrain Reflects Reward-Seeking and Reinforcement During Olfactory Behavior [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 Sensory perception underlies how we internalize and interact with the external world. In order to adapt to changing circumstances and interpret signals in a variety of contexts, sensation needs to be reliable, but perception of sensory input needs to be ...

Basal forebrain atrophy in frontotemporal dementia
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2020 Background: The basal forebrain is a subcortical structure that plays an important role in learning, attention, and memory. Despite the known subcortical involvement in frontotemporal dementia (FTD), there is little research into the role of the basal ...

ESC-Derived Basal Forebrain Cholinergic Neurons Ameliorate the Cognitive Symptoms Associated with Alzheimer’s Disease in Mouse Models [PDF]
Stem Cell Reports, 2015 Degeneration of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons (BFCNs) is associated with cognitive impairments of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), implying that BFCNs hold potentials in exploring stem cell-based replacement therapy for AD.

Sleep-wake mechanisms and basal forebrain circuitry [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2003 The seminal studies by von Economo in humans (1) and by Nauta (2) in rats implicated specific basal forebrain areas at the preoptic level as important in sleep regulation. In the last two decades, studies employing recording of single neurons and monitoring of sleep parameters with subsequent chemical and electron microscopic identification of the ...

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022 The basal forebrain is one of the three major brain circuits involved in episodic memory formation together with the hippocampus and the diencephalon. The dysfunction of each of these regions is known to cause anterograde amnesia.

The role of the basal forebrain in general anesthesia
Ibrain, 2023 The basal forebrain is a group of nerve nuclei on the ventral side of the ventral ganglion, composed of γ‐aminobutyric acid neurons, glutamatergic neurons, cholinergic neurons, and orexigenic neurons.

Basal forebrain subcortical projections [PDF]
Brain Structure and Function, 2019 The basal forebrain (BF) contains at least three distinct populations of neurons (cholinergic, glutamatergic, and GABA-ergic) across its different regions (medial septum, diagonal band, magnocellular preoptic area, and substantia innominata). Much attention has focused on the BF's ascending projections to cortex, but less is known about descending ...
