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
- Brain area: Lower Brain - Modulatory Contol Area
- Role: processor.autonomic
- Function: Regulate the intensity of responses to salient stimuli
- Notes to function: NE Source, enhance signal-to-noise ratio, suppressing irrelevant stimuli (lateral inhibition); inhibitory nucleus
