Central blockade of muscarinic cholinergic receptors disrupts affective and attentional set‐shifting

Chen, Katy C., Baxter, Mark G., Rodefer, Joshua S.·2004·European Journal of Neuroscience

Abstract

Impairments in multiple aspects of attentional and executive function follow damage to cholinergic neurons in the central nervous system. Affective and attentional set‐shifting represent two aspects of executive function controlled by different sectors of the prefrontal cortex. The involvement of cholinergic neural mechanisms in these aspects of executive function has not been specified. To determine whether central muscarinic cholinergic receptors were involved in affective and/or attentional set‐shifting, we tested rats on a series of discrimination learning problems, which included affective (reversal learning) and attentional set (extradimensional shift)‐shifting components, under the systemic influence of scopolamine, a muscarinic antagonist. Scopolamine impaired both reversal learning and extradimensional shifting, but was without effect on learning new discrimination problems that did not require an affective or attentional shift. Systemic administration of methylscopolamine, which does not cross the blood–brain barrier, did not impair affective or attentional set‐shifting, indicating that the scopolamine effects were centrally mediated. These data implicate muscarinic receptors in the central nervous system in the control of executive function. Taken together with other recent data, they may also suggest an important role for cholinergic receptors outside of the neocortex in regulating these aspects of attention and executive function.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Scopolamine-induced impairments in attentional set shifting performance are consistent with a role of mAChR for mediation of cognitive functions that involve top-down control.

    “Evidence indicating scopolamine-induced impairments in attentional set shifting performance (Chen et al, 2004) is consistent with a role of mAChR for the mediation of cognitive functions that involve top down control.”

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.
