Abstract
Integrated analysis of external pallidum (GPe) neuronal firing, pupil size, and saccadic movements in non-human primates reveals that pauses in GPe firing are associated with pupil dilation. These results suggest that pauses in GPe activity might influence downstream structures in the basal ganglia network and influence exploratory behavior.
