About this Research Topic
In this Research Topic we are diving deep into the molecular mechanisms of cholinergic transmission in motivation and cognition. This topic aims to explore recent developments in uncovering the molecular mechanisms that control synaptic, cellular, and systems of cholinergic function, and to further our understanding of how these affect memory, learning and motivated behaviors.
We welcome submissions of primary data showing unique function of molecular mechanisms of cholinergic transmission that control or modulate motivation and cognition-related brain systems and/or behaviors, as well as reviews on our current understanding of how the cholinergic system is involved in information processing.
Keywords: Acetylcholine, Nicotinergic Receptors, Muscarinic Receptors, Motivation, Cognition
