Interestingly, polymorphisms in the α4 nicotinic receptor subunit found in layer VI corticothalamic neurons have been associated with differences in performance on attention tasks

Recent work has shown that layer VI corticothalamic neurons in male rats are prominently excited by nicotinic acetylcholine receptors during early postnatal development

-
In male rats, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors excite corticothalamic neurons in layer VI, which are thought to play an important role in attention by gating the sensitivity of thalamic neurons to incoming stimuli.

Together, our data raise important questions about the mechanism that underlies the prominent sex difference in functional nicotinic currents during development as well as the consequences of this sex difference for the maturation of corticothalamic attention circuitry.

Within the prefrontal cortex, the corticothalamic neurons of layer VI are thought to play a key role in this cortical synchronization and also play a role in the thalamic gating necessary for attention
