Abstract

The locus coeruleus is among the earliest brain regions affected by tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the functional impact is difficult to measure in vivo. Task-evoked pupil dilation provides an index of locus coeruleus-norepinephrine function that might be altered in cognitively normal older adults with underlying AD pathology.
