@@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
