Seizures in a Dravet Syndrome mouse model inhibit the locus coeruleus but locally evoke supraphysiologic norepinephrine release
Locus coeruleus (LC) neurons are the primary source of norepinephrine / noradrenaline (NE) released to most brain structures, including seizure-prone neocortical and limbic regions. LC-NE networks regulate numerous physiological processes, including arousal, attention, and memory. Previous evidence suggests that LC-NE...
