Noradrenergic and Cholinergic Effects on Speed and Sensitivity Measures of Phasic Alerting.

An intense but task-irrelevant auditory accessory stimulus that is presented almost simultaneously with a visual imperative stimulus can reduce reaction times (RTs) to that stimulus. The information-processing locus and neural underpinnings underlying this phasic alerting effect are still poorly und...
