121. Warburton, E. C. et al. Cholinergic neurotransmission is essential for perirhinal cortical plasticity and recognition memory. Neuron 38, 987-996 (2003). Shows that applications of scopolamine in the perirhinal cortex impair object-recognition memory. Similar treatment blocked the production of long-term depression but not long-term potentiation in perirhinal slices.

Neurosci. 14, 145-152 (2001). Describes that perirhinal cortex activation of ACh receptors in vitro produces long-lasting depression of synaptic transmission that is dependent on muscarinic M1, but not on NMDA receptor activation.
