  "summary": "Encoding-related pupil responses predict later memory performance, but the neural mechanisms linking these autonomic dynamics to memory formation remain unclear. This study examined whether pupil responses during encoding track activity in the brain's memory network and whether they reflect functional interactions between memory-related regions and neural systems involved in pupil control.…",
