Could LC-NE-Dependent Adjustment of Neural Gain Drive Functional Brain Network Reorganization? by Carole Guedj, David Meunier, Martine Meunier, Fadila Hadj-Bouziane

“…Accordingly, as a reset signal, the LC-NE system could trigger brain network reorganizations in response to salient information in the environment and/or adjust the neural gain within its target regions to optimize behavioral responses. Here, we provide evidence of the co-occurrence of these two mechanisms at the whole-brain level, in resting-state conditions following a pharmacological stimulation of the LC-NE system. …”
