Spatially precise visual gain control mediated by a cholinergic circuit in the midbrain attention network.

abstract：:Models of visual attention postulate the existence of a saliency map whose function is to guide attention and gaze to the most conspicuous regions in a visual scene. Although cortical representations of saliency have been reported, there is mounting evidence for a subcortical saliency mechanism, which pre-dates the ev...
