Cholinergic activity and constraints on information processing
Biol Psychol.
1992 May.
Abstract
In humans, close relationships are found between cholinergic activity and constraints placed on information processing operations. This is true for all operations where the effects of cholinergic activity have been studied. Studies of vigilance, memory, problem solving, stimulus processing and response processing are cited as illustrations. These studies suggest the hypothesis that cholinergic activity controls constraints in all information processing operations. Alternative hypotheses are proposed and experimental tests are suggested.
