The locus coeruleus (LC), our main source of norepinephrine (NE) in the brain, declines with age and is a potential epicentre of protein pathologies in neurodegenerative diseases (ND) …
Background: The integrity of Locus Coeruleus can be evaluated in vivo using specific Magnetic Resonance Imaging sequences. While this nucleus has been shown to be …
As an arousal hub region in the brain, the locus coeruleus (LC) has bidirectional connections with the autonomic nervous system. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based …
