Dissociating cholinergic influence on alertness and temporal attention in primates in a simple reaction time paradigm

2019-09-11

Abstract excerpt

The ability to promptly respond to behaviourally relevant events depends on both general alertness and phasic changes in attentional state driven by temporal expectations. Using a variable foreperiod simple reaction time (RT) task in four adult male rhesus macaques, we investigated the role of the cholinergic system in alertness and temporal expectation. Foreperiod-effects on RT reflect temporal expectation, while...
