Mather and colleagues present an impressive interdisciplinary model of arousal-induced norepinephrine release and its role in selectively enhancing/inhibiting perception, attention, and memory consolidation. This model will require empirical investigation to test its validity and generalizability beyond classic norepinephrine circuits because it simplifies extremely complex and heterogeneous actions including norepinephrine mechanisms related to higher cognitive circuits and psychopathology.
马瑟及其同事提出了一个令人印象深刻的、跨学科的唤醒诱导去甲肾上腺素释放模型,以及它在选择性增强/抑制感知、注意力和记忆巩固方面的作用。这个模型需要通过实证研究来检验其有效性和普遍性,因为它简化了极其复杂和异质的作用,包括与高级认知回路和精神病理学相关的去甲肾上腺素机制。
