Locus Coeruleus in Non-Mammalian Vertebrates

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2022
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: highly homogeneous cell types, a small number of cells but extensive axonal ...

The Longevity of Hippocampus-Dependent Memory Is Orchestrated by the Locus Coeruleus-Noradrenergic System

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2017
The locus coeruleus is connected to the dorsal hippocampus via strong fiber projections. It becomes activated after arousal and novelty, whereupon noradrenaline is released in the hippocampus.

Locus coeruleus-noradrenergic modulation of trigeminal pain: Implications for trigeminal neuralgia and psychiatric comorbidities

open access: yesNeurobiology of Pain, 2023
Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common neuropathic pain involving the craniofacial region. Due to the complex pathophysiology, it is therapeutically difficult to manage.

Combined Optogenetic Approaches Reveal Quantitative Dynamics of Endogenous Noradrenergic Transmission in the Brain

open access: yesiScience, 2020
Summary: Little is known about the real-time cellular dynamics triggered by endogenous catecholamine release despite their importance in brain functions. To address this issue, we expressed channelrhodopsin in locus coeruleus neurons and protein kinase-A

Less locus coeruleus degeneration and its enhanced influence on neural circuit in Parkinson's tremor

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease
Objectives: The involvement of the locus coeruleus in Parkinson's tremor remains unclear. We aimed to decode the role of locus coeruleus in Parkinson's tremor. Methods: We used MRI to examine 120 Parkinson's disease, including 48 tremor-dominant (TD) and

Acupuncture-induced changes in locus coeruleus connectivity and memory improvement in patients with amnestic cognitive impairment

open access: yesIBRO Neuroscience Reports
Background: An increasing number of neuroimaging studies have consistently indicated that the locus coeruleus is associated with cognitive impairment in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, and the locus coeruleus plays a critical role in cognition ...

A53T-α-synuclein overexpression in murine locus coeruleus induces Parkinson’s disease-like pathology in neurons and glia

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications, 2018
Degeneration of noradrenergic locus coeruleus neurons occurs during the prodromal phase of Parkinson’s disease and contributes to a variety of non-motor symptoms, e.g. depression, anxiety and REM sleep behavior disorder.

Fluid intelligence and the locus coeruleus–norepinephrine system

open access: yes, 2021
The last decade has seen significant progress identifying genetic and brain differences related to intelligence. However, there remain considerable gaps in our understanding of how cognitive mechanisms that underpin intelligence map onto various brain ...

An Investigation of Sleep Macro‐ and Microarchitecture by APOE Genotype

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objectives Apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE ε4), a robust genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with functional connectivity deficits and amyloid pathology in brain regions involved in sleep regulation. Thus, alterations in sleep architecture may be one pathway through which ε4 contributes to Alzheimer's disease vulnerability. However,

Regional locus coeruleus degeneration is uncoupled from noradrenergic terminal loss in Parkinson’s disease

open access: yes, 2022
Previous studies have reported substantial involvement of the noradrenergic system in Parkinson’s disease. Neuromelanin-sensitive MRI sequences and PET tracers have become available to visualize the cell bodies in the locus coeruleus and the density of ...
