This study finds that emotional arousal enhances bottom-up attention and memory for salient stimuli in young adults but not older adults, suggesting age-related changes in arousal modulation of selective processing.

This study shows that isometric handgrip increases attentional performance and LC-frontoparietal connectivity in women, suggesting a link between noradrenergic activity and attention.

This study uses MEG and MVPA to show that valence and arousal dimensions are quickly represented in the brain, while some discrete emotions are also rapidly encoded, and different emotions have unique temporal dynamics.
