However, cortical networks are embodied in complex circuits, including neuromodulatory systems such as the noradrenergic locus coeruleus, providing information about internal state and behavioral ...

麻省理工学院神经科学家的一项新研究表明，这些能力是独立的，但是在名为 “locus coeruleus（LC）” 的大脑区域中，去甲肾上腺素产生神经元的活动 ...

This study presents a valuable finding on how the locus coeruleus modulates the involvement of medial prefrontal cortex in set shifting using calcium imaging. The evidence supporting the claims was ...

A small cluster of cells deep within our brains, called the locus coeruleus, affects how awake and attentive we are, how we respond to stress, how we cope with anxiety and fear, and how we create ...

The locus coeruleus is a region of the brain that is instrumental in coordinating our mental processing and is the primary source of noradrenaline in the brain, which acts to regulate arousal ...

The locus coeruleus is a nucleus that controls attention, memory and alertness, but a study shows that it seems to weaken in later years. Older adults appear more easily distracted by irrelevant ...

The study from UNIL shows that a brain region called the "locus coeruleus" (in green) plays an important role in regulating these cycles. The green trace on the left shows the fluctuating activity ...

The locus coeruleus—Latin for "blue spot"—owes its name to its color when observed in autopsy. It projects to just about every area of the brain (and to the spinal cord) to secrete a ...

Scientists believe the locus coeruleus is the brain region most vulnerable to the physical changes caused by Alzheimer’s disease, with signs of the illness possibly appearing years — or even ...

The locus coeruleus is emerging as a major new area of research interest, with many important functions such as regulating our attention and sleep. Anyone with insomnia knows the impatience and ...

Tau aggregation begins not in the cortex, but in the brainstem. Does tangle deposition in the locus coeruleus, which often starts in a person’s 30s, presage Alzheimer’s disease? In the September 22 ...
