Fingerprinting heterocellular β-adrenoceptor functional expression in the brain using agonist activity profiles

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Noradrenergic projections from the brainstem locus coeruleus drive arousal, attentiveness, mood, and memory, but specific adrenoceptor (AR) function across the varied brain cell types has not been extensively characterized, especially with agonists. This

Satiation and stress-induced hypophagia: examining the role of hindbrain neurons expressing prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) or glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1)

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
Neural circuits distributed within the brainstem, hypothalamus, and limbic forebrain interact to control food intake and energy balance under normal day-to-day conditions, and in response to stressful conditions under which homeostasis is threatened ...

Analgesic Effects of Bee Venom Derived Phospholipase A2 in a Mouse Model of Oxaliplatin-Induced Neuropathic Pain

open access: yesToxins, 2015
A single infusion of oxaliplatin, which is widely used to treat metastatic colorectal cancer, induces specific sensory neurotoxicity signs that are triggered or aggravated when exposed to cold or mechanical stimuli.

Developmental control of noradrenergic system by SLITRK1 and its implications in the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023
SLITRK1 is a neuronal transmembrane protein with neurite development-and synaptic formation-controlling abilities. Several rare variants of SLITRK1 have been identified and implicated in the pathogenesis of Tourette’s syndrome, trichotillomania, and ...

Neuromodulation and a Reconceptualization of Autism Spectrum Disorders: Using the Locus Coeruleus Functioning as an Exemplar

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2018
The Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are a heterogeneous group of developmental disorders. Although, ASD can be reliably diagnosed, the etiology, pathophysiology, and treatment targets remain poorly characterized. While there are many atypical findings in

Noradrenergic modulation of arousal [PDF]

open access: yesBrain Research Reviews, 2008
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 Responsiveness Supports Selective Attention across the Adult Lifespan

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2020
Selectively attending to relevant information while blocking out distractors is crucial for goal-directed behavior, yet with advancing age, deficits emerge in attentional selectivity.

PTSD: from neurobiology to pharmacological treatments

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Psychotraumatology, 2016
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic debilitating psychiatric disorder characterized by symptoms of re-experience, avoidance, and hyperarousal that can arise immediately or many years after exposure to a traumatic event and injury.

Locus coeruleus imaging as a biomarker for noradrenergic dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases

open access: yesBrain : a journal of neurology, 2019
The locus coeruleus is the site of the earliest pathological changes in many neurodegenerative diseases. Betts et al. describe how in vivo locus coeruleus imaging can be used as a biomarker for noradrenergic dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases, and

Loss of Sympathetic Nerves in Spleens from Patients with End Stage Sepsis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
The spleen is an important site for central regulation of immune function by noradrenergic sympathetic nerves, but little is known about this major region of neuroimmune communication in humans.
