GABAergic neurons in basal forebrain exert frequency-specific modulation on auditory cortex and enhance attentional selection of auditory stimuli by Kevin Thomas, Hamid Azimi, Davide Maggioni, Mark Sanders, Pilar Vaca Sánchez, Michael A. Harvey, Gregor Rainer

“…Abstract The basal forebrain (BF), in particular its cholinergic projections to cortex, has been implicated in regulation of attention in sensory systems. Here, we examine the role of GABAergic projections of the posterior nucleus basalis (pNB) and globus pallidus (GP) in attentional regulation in the auditory system. …”

Noise-sensitive measure for stochastic resonance in biological oscillators by Ying-Cheng Lai, Kwangho Park

“…There has been ample experimental evidence that a variety ofbiological systems use the mechanism of stochastic resonance for tasks suchas prey capture and sensory information processing. Traditional quantities forthe characterization of stochastic resonance, such as the signal-to-noise ratio,possess a low noise sensitivity in the sense that they vary slowly about theoptimal noise level. …”
