Increases in cortical acetylcholine release during sustained attention performance in rats
Abstract
Acetylcholine (ACh) efflux in the frontoparietal cortex was studied with in vivo microdialysis while rats performed in an operant task designed to assess sustained attention. Transferring animals from the baseline environment into the operant chambers elicited a robust increase in cortical ACh efflux that persisted throughout the 18-min pre-task period. Subsequent performance in the 36-min sustained attention task was associated with further significant increases in frontoparietal ACh efflux, while the termination of the task resulted in a delayed decline in ACh levels. Upon the 12-min presentation of a visual distracter (flashing houselight, 0.5 Hz) during task performance, animals initially developed a significant response bias to the left lever in the first 6-min distracter block, reflecting a reduction of attentional effort. Under continued conditions of increased attentional demand, performance recovered during the second 6-min distracter block. This return to attentional processing was accompanied by an increase in cortical ACh efflux, suggesting that the augmentation of attentional demand produced by the distracter elicited further increases in ACh release. The enhancement of cortical ACh efflux observed prior to task performance implies the presence of complex relationships between cortical ACh release and anticipatory and/or contextual factors related to operant performance and attentional processing. This finding, along with the further increases in cortical ACh efflux associated with task performance, extends hypotheses regarding the crucial role of cortical cholinergic transmission for attentional functions. Furthermore, the effects of the distracter stimulus provide evidence for a direct relationship between attentional effort and cortical ACh release.

“There is now ample experimental evidence in support of the hypothesis that the integrity of cortical cholinergic inputs is necessary for normal attentional performance, and that such performance robustly activates cortical cholinergic inputs [3,29,32,33,39, 50,73,101,99,132,162,183,180,181].”

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.
