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

Attention and gaze impact the spatial responsiveness of neurons in the optic tectum. Here the authors elucidate the mechanism by which cholinergic inputs affect receptive field properties of tectal neurons in a spatially precise manner in barn owls.
