The locus coeruleus is a deep brain structure that regulates behavioral arousal, attention, and cognitive performance. Its activity can be recorded indirectly by measuring the pupil size. This approach allows the verification of where the stimuli

To verify whether trigeminal effects on cognitive performance involve locus coeruleus activity, two protocols are presented that aim to evaluate possible correlations between the performance and task-related pupil size changes induced by chewing. These protocols may be applied to conditions in which locus coeruleus contribution is suspected.
