Selective deficits in attentional performance on the 5-choice serial reaction time task following pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus lesions

Sustained attention requires the integrity of basal forebrain cholinergic systems. The pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) has direct and indirect connections (via the thalamus) with the basal forebrain, suggesting that the PPTg may also play an important role in attentional processes. We exam...
