Physiology of quantal norepinephrine release from somatodendritic sites in locus coeruleus

Physiology of quantal norepinephrine release from somatodendritic sites in locus coeruleus

Norepinephrine(NE) released from the nerve terminal of locus coeruleus (LC) neurons contribute to about 70% of the total extracellular NE in primates brain.Compared with acetylcholine, glutamate, or gamma-aminobutyric acid release in neural synapses, quantal norepinephrine (NE) release from soma of...
