Baseline activity of V1 interneurons connects pupil-linked arousal to engaged behavioral state

2026-02-07

Abstract excerpt

Humans and rodents alternate between discrete, persistent behavioral states during perceptual decision-making. For example, trials can be clustered into states of engaged, disengaged, and biased decision-making strategies. In mice, the probability of being in an engaged state exhibits an inverted-U relationship with baseline pupil-linked arousal, consistent with the Yerkes-Dodson Law. We replicated this relationsh...
