Visual recognition processes in monkeys and their neuronal correlates in the visual cortex: the effect of an M-cholinoreceptor blocker

Unit activity was studied in the visual cortex prior to and after amyzyl administration in monkeys trained for delayed visual differentiation of different colour stimuli. The data obtained suggests that the cholinergic mechanisms of the visual cortex are involved in the visual recognition and seem t...

Description
Summary:	Unit activity was studied in the visual cortex prior to and after amyzyl administration in monkeys trained for delayed visual differentiation of different colour stimuli. The data obtained suggests that the cholinergic mechanisms of the visual cortex are involved in the visual recognition and seem to play different functional roles at different stages of the behaviour.
