Study Findings from Brown University Provide New Insights into Chemicals and Chemistry (Toward a Computational Role for Locus Coeruleus/ Norepinephrine Arousal Systems).

Researchers at Brown University have conducted a study on the role of neuromodulators in brain and behavior changes, focusing on the locus coeruleus/norepinephrine system. The research explores how arousal systems facilitate internal state transitions to promote accurate perceptions in nonstationary environments. This peer-reviewed study, supported by the NIH National Institute of Mental Health, highlights the computational role of arousal in cognition and brain-wide noradrenergic signaling. For more information, readers can refer to the article "Toward a Computational Role for Locus Coeruleus/ Norepinephrine Arousal Systems" in Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences.
