Coupling between Trigeminal-Induced Asymmetries in Locus Coeruleus Activity and Cognitive Performance

Coupling between Trigeminal-Induced Asymmetries in Locus Coeruleus Activity and Cognitive Performance

In humans, the asymmetry in the masseter electromyographic (EMG) activity during clenching is positively correlated with the degree of pupil size asymmetry (anisocoria) at rest. Anisocoria reveals an asymmetry in LC activity, which may lead to an imbalance in cortical excitability, detrimental to pe...
