The ascending arousal system shapes neural dynamics to mediate awareness of cognitive states

BR Munn, EJ Müller, G Wainstein, JM Shine - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
Abstract Models of cognitive function typically focus on the cerebral cortex and hence
overlook functional links to subcortical structures. This view does not consider the role of the …

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
