      The primary mechanisms of action described in the OP have been known for decades; this is just a larger study further supporting the idea

      I learned about it in university over 5 years ago, from studies dating back to the 90s. In fact, I didn’t realize anyone still thought they work the other way

      Alertness and motivation kind of already describe what attention is. So nothing new?
