AmirHussein Abdolalizadeh, Yan Deng, Karsten Witt, Christiane M. Thiel
The noradrenergic locus coeruleus (LC) and the cholinergic nucleus basalis of Meynert (nBM) are key hubs of ascending neuromodulatory systems that shape large-scale brain dynamics. However, the behavioral relevance of the structural and functional connectivity between these nucle…
