Cholinergic modulation of the medial prefrontal cortex: the role of nicotinic receptors in attention and regulation of neuronal activity
Acetylcholine release in the medial prefrontal cortex is (mPFC) crucial for normal cognitive performance. Despite the fact that many have studied how acetylcholine affects neuronal processing in the mPFC and thereby influences attention behavior, there is still a lot unknown about how this occurs. H...
