Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in attention, learning, and memory. It is produced in the basal forebrain and brainstem and projects widely to the cortex.
Key Effects
- •Attention — enhances signal-to-noise by "highlighting" relevant neural connections
- •Learning — supports plasticity and memory formation
- •Arousal — modulates wakefulness and alertness
- •Cortical activation — selectively amplifies task-relevant processing
In ONDA Life
Part 8 "Gamma Binding and Cholinergic Modulation" works with acetylcholine, which "literally ‘highlights’ the necessary neural connections." This supports the assembly of scattered perceptual elements into a single, cohesive image during deep focus.
Scientific Basis
Built on: Polyvagal Theory (Porges); Psychoneuroimmunology (Ader & Cohen); neuroplasticity research.
