When your brain needs you to pay attention to something important, one way it can do that is to send out a burst of noradrenaline, according to a new MIT study. This neuromodulator, produced by a ...

Astrocytes have diverse functions in the brain, but little is known about how the activity of astrocyte networks is regulated. A new study suggests that noradrenaline released during arousal controls ...

Noradrenaline is a neuromodulator that has been linked to arousal and boosting alertness, but can lead to anxiety in large amounts. Unlike neurotransmitters, which enable cell-to-cell communication, ...

The researchers created memories by stimulating the release of noradrenaline, a chemical present in the body during strong emotional events ranging from excitement to fear. Previous studies have ...

Noradrenaline is a neuromodulator secreted in the brain depending on behavioral context and physiological states of animal, influencing a wide range of physiological functions by modulating brain ...

Studies in mice by researchers at the University of Melbourne and Monash University, have uncovered a mechanistic link between stress and weakened immunity. Their studies found under conditions of ...

ACETYLCHOLINE contracts the spleen of the dog 1 and cat 2. In these species the effect of acetylcholine in contracting the spleen is not blocked by atropine, but is blocked by dibenzyline and reduced ...

More than 50 years after cochlear implants were invented, researchers may be closer to understanding why the devices don’t promote hearing in every deaf or hard of hearing recipient. A study in rats ...

Researchers report the first-ever connection between noradrenergic neurons and vulnerability to depression. This breakthrough paves the way for new depression treatments that target the adrenergic ...

Researchers at RIKEN Center for Brain Science have visualized the dynamic processes involving norepinephrine that influence different types of fear-memory formation in a living mouse model. The study ...

Norepinephrine (NE) and noradrenaline (NA) are two different terms used to describe the same thing. In the United Kingdom, "noradrenaline" is the British-approved name for this neurotransmitter and ...
