Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in attention circuitry: the role of layer VI neurons of prefrontal cortex

Cholinergic modulation of prefrontal cortex is essential for attention. In essence, it focuses the mind on relevant, transient stimuli in support of goal-directed behavior. The excitation of prefrontal layer VI neurons through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors optimizes local and top-down control of...
