Ljubojevic V, De Rosa E, Luu P (2011) Cholinergic modulation of cross-modal attentional orienting. Neuroscience 2011 Abstracts 294.07. Society for Neuroscience, Washington, DC. Summary: We modified the classic cued target detection paradigm, using odor cues to predict a visual target, to examine cholinergic modulation of attentional control signals. It has been proposed that without ACh
