  4. 2. Survival and differentiation of central noradrenergic neurons

    Author : Pontus Holm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : About half of all central noradrenergic (NA) neurons reside in the locus coeruleus (LC). Projections from the LC reach target regions throughout the entire brain and regulate a variety of functions, such as mood, vigilance, arousal, sleep, attention and memory acquisition. READ MORE
