Mirtazapine for the Treatment of Chronic Pruritus
Background: Chronic pruritus is a debilitating condition associated with a wide range of dermatologic, systemic and psychogenic etiologies. In patients with chronic pruritus that is refractory to conventional therapy, symptoms can significantly decrease ...

The inhibition of the dorsal paragigantocellular reticular nucleus induces waking and the activation of all adrenergic and noradrenergic neurons: a combined pharmacological and functional neuroanatomical study. [PDF]
GABAergic neurons specifically active during paradoxical sleep (PS) localized in the dorsal paragigantocellular reticular nucleus (DPGi) are known to be responsible for the cessation of activity of the noradrenergic neurons of the locus coeruleus during ...

Noradrenergic Pheochromocytoma: A Case Report
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors developed from chromaffin cells. They are exceptional in children with an atypical symptomatology. We report here a case of a 17-year-old boy who presented with a left retroperitoneal mass discovered on thoracic-abdominal-pelvic computed tomography (CT) scan in the presence of diffuse ...

Age differences in diffusivity in the locus coeruleus and its ascending noradrenergic tract
The noradrenergic locus coeruleus (LC) is a small brainstem nucleus that promotes arousal and attention. Recent studies have examined the microstructural properties of the LC using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and found unexpected age ...

Simulation of Cholinergic and Noradrenergic Modulation of Behavior in Uncertain Environments
Attention is a complex neurobiological process that involves rapidly and flexibly balancing sensory input and goal-directed predictions in response to environmental changes.

Noradrenergic modulation of arousal [PDF]
Through a highly divergent efferent projection system, the locus coeruleus-noradrenergic system supplies norepinephrine throughout the central nervous system. State-dependent neuronal discharge activity of locus coeruleus neurons has long-suggested a role of this system in the induction of an alert waking state.

Noradrenergic Source of Dopamine Assessed by Microdialysis in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex
Previous results indicate that dopamine (DA) release in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is modified by α2 adrenoceptor- but not D2 DA receptor- agonists and antagonists, suggesting that DA measured by microdialysis in the mPFC originates from ...

SLITRK1-mediated noradrenergic projection suppression in the neonatal prefrontal cortex
Loss of SLITRK1 results in altered behaviour and in increased noradrenergic projections in OCD-related neural circuits, suggesting that differences in noradrenergic signaling may contribute to numerous neurodevelopmental disorders, including OCD ...
