مستخلص: A study investigated the effects of blocking muscarinic receptors on the speed of attention shifting and learning. The study found that pre-cuing resulted in the fastest shift times, followed by exogenous cuing, with endogenous attentional shifts being the slowest. The application of scopolamine, a muscarinic receptor blocker, increased attentional shift times in all conditions, and also reduced the improvement of attention shift times through learning. These findings suggest that muscarinic receptors play a significant role in attention shifting and contribute to the learning of attention shifting. However, it is important to note that this study has not yet undergone peer review. [Extracted from the article]
