Current opinion in neurobiology, 1999•ElsevierStudies of the function of the basal forebrain have focused on cholinergic neurons that
project to cortical and limbic structures critical for various cognitive abilities. Recent
experiments suggest that these neurons serve a modulatory function in cognition, by
optimizing cortical information processing and influencing attention.
