As such, the locus coeruleus is the principal site for brain synthesis of noradrenaline, a neurotransmitter. Noradrenaline is contained in small round compartments, called vesicles, inside the ...

A study carried out by neuroscientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with ETH Zurich, shows that a brain region called locus coeruleus (LC) and the neurotransmitter ...

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 ...

For instance, studies have shown that the noradrenergic locus coeruleus and nodes of the ... This suggests that catecholamines, which are neurotransmitters involved in motivation and arousal ...

Researchers at the University of Lausanne have identified a novel role for the brain's 'locus coeruleus' in sleep and its disruptions. This brain region facilitates the transition between NREM and ...
