Pharmacological and Physiological Characteristics of Synaptic Transmissions From the Medial Prefrontal Cortex Onto Noradrenergic Neurons and Inhibitory Interneurons in the Mouse Locus Coeruleus
The locus coeruleus (LC) is the brain's primary source of norepinephrine. It modulates the brain's overall state of arousal. Recent evidence suggests that the LC also regulates immediate attentional responses by resetting related cortical networks to optimize behavioral outcomes. Cortical regions associated with high c...
