Acetylcholine-mediated top-down attention improves the response to bottom-up inputs by deformation of the attractor landscape.

To understand the effect of attention on neuronal dynamics, we propose a multi-module network, with each module consisting of fully interconnected groups of excitatory and inhibitory neurons. This network shows transitive dynamics among quasi-attractors as its typical dynamics. When the release of a...
