Ridley RM, Baker HF, Leow-Dyke A, Cummings RM (2005) Further analysis of the effects of immunotoxic lesions of the basal nucleus of Meynert reveals substantial impairment on visual discrimination learning in monkeys. Brain Res Bull 65(5):433-442. doi: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2005.02.025
Summary: Several studies in marmoset monkeys indicate that cholinergic projections from the NBM to specific portions of the neocortex are necessary for visual discrimination learning. By combining analysis of studies using a total of 1.4 µg of ME20.4-SAP (Cat. #IT-15) into various areas of the brain, the authors show that degeneration of cholinergic projections contributes to the loss of functions dependent on the neocortex.
