A disinhibitory circuit mechanism explains a general principle of peak performance during mid-level arousal

2023-07-29

Abstract excerpt

Perceptual decision-making is highly dependent on the momentary arousal state of the brain, which fluctuates over time on a scale of hours, minutes, and even seconds. The textbook relationship between momentary arousal and task performance is captured by an inverted U-shape, as put forward in the Yerkes-Dodson law (Yerkes and Dodson, 1908). This law suggests optimal performance at moderate levels of arousal, and i...
