Domenico Pimpinella, entitled “Septal cholinergic input to CA2 hippocampal region controls social memory via nicotinic receptor-mediated disinhibition” illustrates as acetylcholine, released from medial septum cholinergic neurons in the CA2 hippocampal region, controls social memory byactivating nicotinic receptors expressed by local inhibitory interneurons.
