The paper investigates cortico-striatal control of action selection in rats with different cognitive-motivational styles, finding differences in glutamate release patterns during cued turns.

This study investigates how neuro-immune signaling and choline transporter modifications contribute to addiction vulnerability in sign-tracking rats.

This study shows that a common choline transporter variant reduces choline clearance and sustained acetylcholine release in mice, linking it to attentional deficits in humans.

This study shows that TAK-071, an M1 PAM, improves attentional performance in rats with cholinergic losses, particularly in recovery after distractors.

This study shows that the PrL-PVT pathway modulates incentive value attribution to reward-cues in rats, with distinct effects in sign-trackers and goal-trackers.

This study shows that mice with reduced cholinergic capacity experience severe, lasting attention impairments after repeated mild concussions, suggesting similar risks in humans with vulnerable cholinergic systems.
