Abstract

Contrary to the arguments put forth by Astafiev et al ., our new analyses and high-resolution replication show that modulation of brain activity by the cognitive enhancing drug modafinil indeed localizes to the locus coeruleus. The authors’ critical stance regarding blood oxygen level–dependent imaging in the brainstem does not follow from their data.
