Cell Assemblies of the Basal Forebrain [PDF]
The basal forebrain comprises several heterogeneous neuronal subgroupings having modular projection patterns to discrete sets of cortical subregions. Each cortical region forms recurrent projections, via prefrontal cortex, that reach the specific basal forebrain subgroups from which they receive afferents.

Redundant basal forebrain modulation in taste aversion memory formation
Mnemonic deficits resulting from excitotoxic lesion of the basal forebrain have been classically attributed to the resulting depletion of cortical acetylcholine activity.

Introduction The mechanisms underlying sleep deprivation‐induced memory impairments and relevant compensatory signaling pathways remain elusive. We tested the hypothesis that increased brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression in the basal ...

Sleep-wake sensitive mechanisms of adenosine release in the basal forebrain of rodents : an in vitro study [PDF]
Adenosine acting in the basal forebrain is a key mediator of sleep homeostasis. Extracellular adenosine concentrations increase during wakefulness, especially during prolonged wakefulness and lead to increased sleep pressure and subsequent rebound sleep.

An Evolutionary Interpretation of Teleostean Forebrain Anatomy [PDF]
During the past few years, our investigations of the forebrain in the zebrafish (a teleost fish) have shown that its molecular anatomy and expression patterns of genes involved in the regulation of neuronal transmitter phenotypes, such as gamma ...

Physiological properties of cholinergic and non-cholinergic magnocellular neurons in acute slices from adult mouse nucleus basalis. [PDF]
BackgroundThe basal forebrain is a series of nuclei that provides cholinergic input to much of the forebrain. The most posterior of these nuclei, nucleus basalis, provides cholinergic drive to neocortex and is involved in arousal and attention.

Cholinergic Basal Forebrain Volumes Predict Gait Decline in Parkinson's Disease. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Gait disturbance is an early, disabling feature of Parkinson's disease (PD) that is typically refractory to dopaminergic medication. The cortical cholinergic system, originating in the nucleus basalis of Meynert of the basal forebrain, has ...

In vivo function of NGF/TrkA signaling in the cholinergic neurons of the murine basal forebrain [PDF]
The neurotrophins are a family of secreted proteins that potently regulate diverse neuronal responses. The neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptors TrkA and p75 are well characterized to control survival, differentiation and function of ...

Cholinergic cells in the nucleus basalis of mice express the N-methyl-D-aspartate-receptor subunit NR2C and its replacement by the NR2B subunit enhances frontal and amygdaloid acetylcholine levels [PDF]
It is known that glutamatergic and cholinergic systems interact functionally at the level of the cholinergic basal forebrain. The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) is a multiprotein complex composed of NR1, NR2 and/or NR3 subunits.
