Neurochemical and electrical modulation of the locus coeruleus: contribution to CO(2)drive to breathe

The locus coeruleus (LC) is a dorsal pontine region, situated bilaterally on the floor of the fourth ventricle. It is considered to be the major source of noradrenergic innervation in the brain. These neurons are highly sensitive to CO(2)/pH, and chemical lesions of LC neurons largely attenuate the...
