So having ample choline for production of acetylcholine allows for focus through, of course, many intervening steps.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
But what this means, is that making sure that we have enough of the substrates to create acetylcholine is vital if we want to be able to focus, and that's why dietary choline is so vital.
Now, after EPA, fatty acids, and phosphatidylserine, I would say, third on the list of things that come from food that can readily support brain function would be choline, and that's because of the relationship to choline in the biosynthesis pathway for a acetylcholine.

Acetylcholine is a neurom modulator not a neurotransmitter but a neurom modulator in the brain. So it's kind of a electrical highlighter pen if you will by analogy. That is the basis of much of what we call focus or or our ability to concentrate on a particular batch of information that's coming in through our eyes, our ears, our nose, or even things that we're just thinking in our head.
choline is also a precursor in the formation of acetylcholine which is a critical neurotransmitter in the human brain
