Pupil-linked phasic arousal predicts a reduction of choice bias across species and decision domains

JW de Gee, K Tsetsos, L Schwabe, AE Urai… - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
Decisions are often made by accumulating ambiguous evidence over time. The brain's
arousal systems are activated during such decisions. In previous work in humans, we found …

Pupil diameter is not an accurate real-time readout of locus coeruleus activity

M Megemont, J McBurney-Lin, H Yang - Elife, 2022 - elifesciences.org
Pupil diameter is often treated as a noninvasive readout of activity in the locus coeruleus
(LC). However, how accurately it can be used to index LC activity is not known. To address …

[HTML][HTML] Rapid effects of vagus nerve stimulation on sensory processing through activation of neuromodulatory systems

C Rodenkirch, JB Carmel, Q Wang - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2022 - frontiersin.org
After sensory information is encoded into neural signals at the periphery, it is processed
through multiple brain regions before perception occurs (ie, sensory processing). Recent …

Locus coeruleus spiking differently correlates with S1 cortex activity and pupil diameter in a tactile detection task

H Yang, BA Bari, JY Cohen, DH O'Connor - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
We examined the relationships between activity in the locus coeruleus (LC), activity in the
primary somatosensory cortex (S1), and pupil diameter in mice performing a tactile detection …
