Type: dissertation
Abstract: The locus coeruleus (LC) is a brainstem nucleus that is the principal source of norepinephrine in the brain.It plays a central role in many aspects of brain function including the regulation of sleep and wakefulness.Animal studies show that LC neurons exhibit state-dependent firing patterns, being most active during wakefulness, relatively less active during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, and virtually silent during REM sleep.These state-
