The 9 pages that link to Locus coeruleus, each with the reason it gives.

• NorepinephrineRelated: Its projections adjust arousal and attention across widespread brain regions.

• ArousalBroader topic: Its norepinephrine signals help adjust alertness and responses to salient events.

• Norepinephrine transporterBroader topic: NET on locus coeruleus projections helps regulate norepinephrine signaling throughout the brain.

• Descending pain modulationBroader topic: Noradrenergic projections from this nucleus can suppress spinal nociceptive transmission.
