Annu Rev Vis Sci
. 2021 Sep;
7:181-199.
PMID: 34524875
Visual processing is dynamically controlled by multiple neuromodulatory molecules that modify the responsiveness of neurons and the strength of the connections between them. In particular, modulatory control of processing in...

J Neurosci
. 2020 Jan;
40(4):720-725.
PMID: 31969490
ACh is a signaling molecule in the mammalian CNS, with well-documented influence over cognition and behavior. However, the nature of cholinergic signaling in the brain remains controversial, with ongoing debates...

Disney A, Robert J
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2019 Dec;
116(52):26181-26186.
PMID: 31871174
Biomedical research is at a critical juncture, with an aging population increasingly beset by chronic illness and prominent failures to translate research from "bench to bedside." These challenges emerge on...

Krueger J, Disney A
J Comp Neurol
. 2018 Dec;
527(3):738-750.
PMID: 30520037
Behavioral states such as arousal and attention have profound effects on sensory processing, determining how-even whether-a stimulus is perceived. This state-dependence is believed to arise, at least in part, in...

Coppola J, Disney A
Brain Behav
. 2018 Aug;
8(9):e01071.
PMID: 30094962
Introduction: Release of the neuromodulator acetylcholine into cortical circuits supports cognition, although its precise role and mechanisms of action are not well understood. Little is known about functional differences in...

Coppola J, Disney A
Front Neural Circuits
. 2018 Feb;
12:8.
PMID: 29440996
Acetylcholine (ACh) is believed to act as a neuromodulator in cortical circuits that support cognition, specifically in processes including learning, memory consolidation, vigilance, arousal and attention. The cholinergic modulation of...

Coppola J, Ward N, Jadi M, Disney A
J Physiol Paris
. 2016 Aug;
110(1-2):3-9.
PMID: 27553093
Neuromodulatory signaling is generally considered broad in its impact across cortex. However, variations in the characteristics of cortical circuits may introduce regionally-specific responses to diffuse modulatory signals. Features such as...

Disney A, McKinney C, Grissom L, Lu X, Reynolds J
J Neurosci Methods
. 2015 Jul;
255:29-37.
PMID: 26226654
Background: Currently, the primary technique employed in circuit-level study of the brain is electrophysiology, recording local field or action potentials (LFPs or APs). However most communication between neurons is chemical...

Disney A, Alasady H, Reynolds J
Brain Behav
. 2014 Jun;
4(3):431-45.
PMID: 24944872
Background: In the mammalian neocortex, cells that express parvalbumin (PV neurons) comprise a dominant class of inhibitory neuron that substantially overlaps with the fast/narrow-spiking physiological phenotype. Attention has pronounced effects...
