Neural Gain and Catecholamines. (A) Neural gain has an amplifying effect on neuronal signals by boosting strong inputs. (B) Catecholamine systems are crucial for modulating brain-wide neural gain. On a network-level, (C) high gain leads to stable attractor states and thus consistent outputs and behaviours, whereas (D) low gain causes unstable and shallow attractor states.
