title: For better or worse, or for a change?
abstract: The noradrenergic system is intimately related to the autonomic system and is thought to play a key role at the interface between arousal and cognition. The GANE (glutamate amplifies noradrenergic effects) theory proposes a complete account of that role, with an emphasis on the quantitative effect of noradrenaline on stimulus processing. This is in marked contrast to network reset theory, which emphasizes the qualitative effect of noradrenaline of updating the representation of the environment.
