Anxiety Disorders: Noradrenergic Neurotransmission

2005
The past decade has seen a rapid progression in our knowledge of the neurobiological basis of fear and anxiety. Specific neurochemical and neuropeptide systems have been demonstrated to play important roles in the behaviors associated with fear and anxiety-producing stimuli.

Genetic Manipulation of Noradrenergic Neurons

The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2002
The neurotransmitter norepinephrine has been the focus of intense investigation for nearly a century. With advances in technology come novel approaches for testing hypotheses about the physiological roles of norepinephrine and the genes involved in norepinephrine (NE) biosynthesis, metabolism, and noradrenergic signaling.

Possible Noradrenergic Dysfunction in Schizophrenia

Brain Research Bulletin, 1994
In spite of extensive studies over the last 2 decades to find direct evidence in support of the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia, no undisputed experimental data has been obtained. In contrast, estimation of noradrenalin (another major catecholamine) and its metabolites in postmortem brain and in the cerebrospinal fluid appears to be producing ...

AMPHETAMINE AND NORADRENERGIC REWARD PATHWAYS

Biochemical Pharmacology, 1973
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews amphetamine and noradrenergic reward pathways. The effects of norepinephrine, and dopamine on self-stimulation were directly examined by injecting these agents in the lateral ventricle through permanently-indwelling cannulas.

Sex and the noradrenergic system

2020
The central noradrenergic system comprises multiple brainstem nuclei whose cells synthesize and release the catecholamine transmitter norepinephrine (NE). The largest of these nuclei is the pontine locus coeruleus (LC), which innervates the vast majority of the forebrain.

Noradrenergic Mechanisms in Ethanol Diuresis

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 1986
Neurotransmitter mechanisms that mediate the effect of ethanol on urine output were examined in male rats. To establish the neuronal systems involved in the diuretic action of ethanol, urine output was evaluated in animals pretreated with various pharmacological agents.

Noradrenergic projections to brainstem nuclei: Evidence for differential projections from noradrenergic subgroups

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1987
AbstractRetrograde transport of the fluorescent tracer True Blue was used in combination with immunohistochemical staining of dopamine‐β‐hydroxylase (a marker protein for noradrenergic neurons) to determine the origin of noradrenergic projections to three cranial nerve nuclei: (1) the motor nucleus of the trigeminal nerve, (2) the motor nucleus of the ...

Central Inhibitory Noradrenergic Cardiovascular Control

1975
Publisher Summary This chapter presents several experiments that indicate that the central hypotensive effect of L-DOPA (L- 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanin) may be related to an increase of brain stem noradrenaline level. Depletion of brain noradrenaline in neonate or adult rats by intraventricular administration of 6-hydroxydopamine did not affect blood ...

Central noradrenergic neurones and stress

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1995
This review discusses evidence that central noradrenergic neurones are involved in the response and adaptation to stress. Stress-induced changes in neurochemical processes affecting neurotransmission are detailed first, followed by evidence that these are modified by psychotropic agents.
