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 …

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 …

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

The brainstem nucleus locus coeruleus (LC) innervates the entire central nervous system
and is the primary source of norepinephrine (NE) to the neocortex. While classically …

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 …

Nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep is characterized by periodic changes in cortical
excitability that are reflected in the electroencephalography (EEG) as high-amplitude slow …

The locus coeruleus (LC) is the major noradrenergic nucleus of the brain, giving rise to
fibres innervating extensive areas throughout the neuraxis. Recent advances in …

The locus coeruleus (LC), the major noradrenergic nucleus of the brain, gives rise to fibres
innervating most structures of the neuraxis. Recent advances in neuroscience have helped …

Locus coeruleus (LC) neurons respond to autonomic and visceral stimuli and discharge in
parallel with peripheral sympathetic nerves. The present study characterized the synaptic …
