Acetylcholine excites neocortical pyramidal neurons via nicotinic receptors.
The neuromodulator acetylcholine (ACh) shapes neocortical function during sensory perception, motor control, arousal, attention, learning, and memory. Here we investigate the mechanisms by which ACh affects neocortical pyramidal neurons in adult mice. Stimulation of cholinergic axons activated muscarinic and nicotinic ACh receptors on pyramidal neurons in all cortical layers and in multiple cor...

21 The neuromodulator acetylcholine shapes neocortical function during sensory 22 perception, motor control, arousal, attention, learning and memory. Here we investigate 23 the mechanisms by which ACh affects neocortical pyramidal neurons in adult mice. 24 Stimulation of cholinergic axons activated muscarinic and nicotinic ACh receptors on 25 pyramidal neurons in all cortical layers and in mult...
متن کاملDifferential signaling via the same axon of neocortical pyramidal neurons.
The nature of information stemming from a single neuron and conveyed simultaneously to several hundred target neurons is not known. Triple and quadruple neuron recordings revealed that each synaptic connection established by neocortical pyramidal neurons is potentially unique. Specifically, synaptic connections onto the same morphological class differed in the numbers and dendritic locations of...
متن کاملDevelopmental excitation of corticothalamic neurons by nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
In this study, we show robust nicotinic excitation of pyramidal neurons in layer VI of prefrontal cortex. This layer contains the corticothalamic neurons, which gate thalamic activity and play a critical role in attention. Our experiments tested nicotinic excitation across postnatal development, using whole-cell recordings in prefrontal brain slices from rats. These experiments showed that laye...
متن کاملIn Vivo Activation of Midbrain Dopamine Neurons via Sensitized, High-Affinity α6∗ Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
Alpha6-containing (alpha6*) nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) are selectively expressed in dopamine (DA) neurons and participate in cholinergic transmission. We generated and studied mice with gain-of-function alpha6* nAChRs, which isolate and amplify cholinergic control of DA transmission. In contrast to gene knockouts or pharmacological blockers, which show necessity, we show that activating a...
