Noradrenergic neuromodulation in ageing and disease
F Krohn, E Lancini, M Ludwig, M Leiman… - Neuroscience & …, 2023 - Elsevier
The locus coeruleus (LC) is a small brainstem structure located in the lower pons and is the
main source of noradrenaline (NA) in the brain. Via its phasic and tonic firing, it modulates …

[HTML][HTML] Non-invasive peripheral nerve stimulation selectively enhances speech category learning in adults
Adults struggle to learn non-native speech contrasts even after years of exposure. While
laboratory-based training approaches yield learning, the optimal training conditions for …

Echoes of emotions past: How neuromodulators determine what we recollect
We tend to re-live emotional experiences more richly in memory than more mundane
experiences. According to one recent neurocognitive model of emotional memory, negative …

[HTML][HTML] Age-related reductions in arousal-enhanced memory are moderated by trait emotion regulation
Emotional arousal is known to enhance episodic memory in young adults. However,
compared to valence, little is known about how healthy aging impacts arousal-enhanced …

Locus coeruleus MRI contrast is associated with cortical thickness in older adults
There is growing evidence that neuronal integrity of the noradrenergic locus coeruleus (LC)
is important for later-life cognition. Less understood is how LC integrity relates to brain …

[HTML][HTML] Isometric exercise facilitates attention to salient events in women via the noradrenergic system
The locus coeruleus (LC) regulates attention via the release of norepinephrine (NE), with
levels of tonic LC activity constraining the intensity of phasic LC responses. In the current …
