In the citing paper
“Effects that are consistent with a role in arousal of pyramidal cell networks include depolarization of cortical neurons through the reduction of a variety of membrane K+ currents (McCormick, 1992), modulation of the h-current (Wang et al., 2007), which controls neuronal and dendritic excitability (Magee, 2000), and control of synaptic transmission, through the modulation of presynaptic terminals”

In the citing paper
“The release of either of these neurotransmitters can potentially modulate the state of cortical activity through cell type, and even subcellular, specific effects.”

In the citing paper
“Through the modulation of ionic currents, the release of norephinephrine or acetylcholine can not only control the membrane potential and excitability of cortical neurons, but also strongly suppress the generation of slow oscillations.”

In the citing paper
“Layer 5 pyramidal cells, in particular, respond to the activation of α1 adrenergic and muscarinic cholinergic receptors with depolarization towards firing threshold, and an increase in excitability through the reduction of K+ currents that function to dampen the generation of repetitive trains of action potentials (McCormick, 1992).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
