Vagus nerve stimulation altered task-evoked pupillary responses in older adults but not in younger adults, indicating age-specific effects on LC activity.
Does vagus nerve stimulation alter task-evoked pupillary responses differently in older versus younger adults?
Vagus nerve stimulation elicits more robust task-evoked pupillary responses in older adults compared to younger adults, suggesting age-dependent effects on locus coeruleus activity.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
VNS affects LC-related physiological measures differently across age groups, with older adults showing more robust responses. These age-specific effects may reflect different baseline LC activity states.
