The brain is metabolically hungry but most accounts of cognition do not consider the energy cost of neural activity Here we review the metabolic budget of neural homeostasis + cognition; associated evolutionary constraints; plus disturbances in disease osf.io/preprints/osf/…

@DanBang_ @NeuroCellPress Thanks a lot Dan for bringing this up! It was completely out of our radar😳 .... This is indeed a beautiful demonstration of the contextual influence of the LC-NA system!!!

Check our new Perspective “Neurobehavioral meaning of pupil size” out @NeuroCellPress l1nq.com/6cM2M Fully Open Access! An accessible discussion in addressing the question “What exactly does pupil size tell us about the brain?” is trickier to answer than it looks!! 👁️👁️

In additional experiments, we show that this modulation depends on the phase of low excitability fluctuations of the prefrontal cortex

🚨New pub!🚨 Is it possible to modulate sensory information processing in a non-invasive manner by modulating ongoing oscillatory activity in the prefrontal cortex in humans? Yes, we can! Take a look at our Open Access pub @NatureHumBehav 👇👇 nature.com/articles/s4156…
