Acetylcholine and attention
I Klinkenberg, A Sambeth, A Blokland - Behavioural brain research, 2011 - Elsevier
Historically, ACh has been implicated in learning and short-term memory functions.
However, more recent studies have provided support for a role of cortical ACh in attentional …

Response perseveration and ventral prefrontal sensitivity to reward and punishment in male problem gamblers and smokers
Pathological gambling (PG) is associated with maladaptive perseverative behavior, but the
underlying mechanism and neural circuitry is not completely clear. Here, the hypothesis was …

Performance effects of nicotine during selective attention, divided attention, and simple stimulus detection: an fMRI study
Attention-enhancing effects of nicotine appear to depend on the nature of the attentional
function. Underlying neuroanatomical mechanisms, too, may vary depending on the function …
