Abstract

A new hypothesis on a possible role for the corticopetal acetylcholine (ACh) is provided from a dynamical systems standpoint. The corticopetal ACh helps to transiently organize a global (inter- and intra-cortical) quasi-attractors via gamma range synchrony when it is behaviorally needed as top-down attentions and expectation.
