• The Conscious Id (2013, background): “This arousal system includes many long-axoned subsystems that release single neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, noradrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, and histamine, as well as a variety of neuropeptides (for reviews, see Panksepp, 1998; Pfaff, 2006).”
• Sustaining attention to simple tasks: a meta-analytic review of the neural mechanisms of vigilant attention. (2013, background): “This is not to say that we consider arousal a unitary concept— on the contrary, we take arousal to be multidimensional, having specialized and generalized subcomponents (cf. Pfaff, 2006; Pfaff, Ribeiro, Matthews, & Kow, 2008).”
