Functions of Central Cholinergic Systems in the Brain-Behavior

  • Chapter
Central Cholinergic Mechanisms and Adaptive Dysfunctions

Abstract

“Most impressive is the singular fact that acetylcholine is the only substance that can influence every physiological and behavioral response thus far examined.” (Myers, 1974, pp. 759). The present review deals with three levels of the relationship between brain and behavior: input, integration and output, but obviously in a much more restricted way than the citation would suggest.
