title: More than Meets the Eye: the Relationship between Pupil Size and Locus Coeruleus Activity.
abstract: Using both direct neural recordings and electrical microstimulation, Joshi et al. (2016) show that locus coeruleus (LC) activity closely matches moment-to-moment changes in pupil size. But what causes these two measures to be related is not straightforward.
