@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLMC -> BrainRegionLMC_HT_LC


This page covers biological details of component Locus Coeruleus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

  • Top-down path to region: Hindbrain Metencephalon -> Locus Coeruleus (LMC.HT.LC) (see Mind Maps)
  • Type: nucleus
  • Quality: L0
  • Brain area: Lower Brain - Modulatory Contol Area (LMC)
  • Area circuit: Norepinephrine - Vigilant Concentration, Stress Hormone, Fight-or-Flight Response (NE)
  • Role: processor.autonomic
  • Function: Regulate the intensity of responses to salient stimuli, arousal and autonomic activity
  • Notes to function:
    • NE Source, enhance signal-to-noise ratio, suppressing irrelevant stimuli (lateral inhibition)
    • inhibitory nucleus
    • wakefulness-promoting nucleus, enhancement of alertness, increase in sympathetic activity and a decrease in parasympathetic activity, to all neocortex, medial septal area, medial preoptic area and substantia innominata, central and basal amygdala, dorsal thalamus
