The locus coeruleus (LC, Lat.“blue spot”) is a heavily pigmented nucleus located in the
dorsal wall of the rostral pons in the lateral floor of the fourth ventricle (Figure 12.1). The LC …

Noradrenergic neurons were first demonstrated in the central nervous system in 1965. The
neurons were clustered in nuclear groups throughout the brainstem and were identified as …

(LC) neurons and the neurotransmitters that are found in neuronal inputs to and outputs from …

The CA (catecholamine/catecholaminergic) cell populations of the locus coeruleus (LC) and
subcoeruleus (SubC) were studied using serial sections of the human brainstem …

The locus coeruleus (LC) is a vertebrate-specific nucleus and the primary source of
norepinephrine (NE) in the brain. This nucleus has conserved properties across species …

Diffuse projections of locus coeruleus (LC) neurons and evidence of synchronous spiking
have long been perceived as features of global neuromodulation. Recent studies …

In 1955, noting that the locus coeruleus (LC) had “received only scant attention,” Russell
(1955) reviewed and extended the study of the comparative anatomy of this nucleus …

The nucleus locus coeruleus (LC) is a group of neurons situated close to the floor of the
fourth ventricle at the upper border of the pons. The cells of the rat LC are homogeneous by …

(1) Electrophysiological techniques were used to investigate inputs to the locus coeruleus
(LC) in rats anesthetized with urethane. 2.(2) Neurons, histologically verified as being in the …
