Isometric exercise facilitates attention to salient events in women via the noradrenergic system

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2020
The locus coeruleus (LC) regulates attention via the release of norepinephrine (NE), with levels of tonic LC activity constraining the intensity of phasic LC responses.

Monitoring Cognitive and Emotional Processes Through Pupil and Cardiac Response During Dynamic Versus Logical Task [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The paper deals with the links between physiological measurements and cognitive and emotional functioning. As long as the operator is a key agent in charge of complex systems, the definition of metrics able to predict his performance is a great challenge.

Attentional Disengagement and the Locus Coeruleus – Norepinephrine System in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

open access: yesFrontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2021
BackgroundDifferences in non-social attentional functions have been identified as among the earliest features that distinguish infants later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and may contribute to the emergence of core ASD symptoms ...

Pupillometry Reveals the Role of Arousal in a Postexercise Benefit to Executive Function

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2021
A single bout of aerobic exercise improves executive function; however, the mechanism(s) underlying this improvement remains unclear. Here, we employed a 20-min bout of aerobic exercise, and at pre- and immediate post-exercise sessions examined executive

Cognitive and Ocular Factors Jointly Determine Pupil Responses under Equiluminance.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Changes in pupil diameter can reflect high-level cognitive signals that depend on central neuromodulatory mechanisms. However, brain mechanisms that adjust pupil size are also exquisitely sensitive to changes in luminance and other events that would be ...

Morphometric study of the ciliary ganglion and its pertinent intraorbital procedure

open access: yesFolia Morphologica, 2020
BACKGROUND: Ciliary ganglion (CG) can be easily injured without notice in many intraorbital procedures. Surgical procedures approaching the lateral side of the orbit are at risk of CG injury which results in transient mydriasis and tonic pupil.
