Abstract:The locus coeruleus-norepinephrine (LC-NE) system is a well-established regulator of behavior, yet its precise role remains unclear. Animal studies predominantly support a ''gai'' hypothesis, suggesting that the LC-NE system enhances sensory processing, while human studies have proposed an alternative ''urgenc'' hypothesis, postulating that LC-NE primarily accelerates responses. To address this discrepancy, we administered transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) in two experiments involving 43 participan… Show more
