Popis: Summary: Acetylcholine (ACh) is thought to play a role in driving the rapid, spontaneous brain-state transitions that occur during wakefulness; however, the spatiotemporal properties of cortical ACh activity during these state changes are still unclear. We perform simultaneous imaging of GRAB-ACh sensors, GCaMP-expressing basal forebrain axons, and behavior to address this question. We observed a high correlation between axon and GRAB-ACh activity around periods of locomotion and pupil dilation. GRAB-ACh fluorescence could be accurately predicted from axonal activity alone, and local ACh activity decreased at farther distances from an axon. Deconvolution of GRAB-ACh traces allowed us to account for sensor kinetics and emphasized rapid clearance of small ACh transients. We trained a model to predict ACh from pupil size and running speed, which generalized well to unseen data. These results contribute to a growing understanding of the precise timing and spatial characteristics of cortical ACh during fast brain-state transitions.
