The locus coeruleus–noradrenergic system: modulation of behavioral state and state-dependent cognitive processes

CW Berridge, BD Waterhouse - Brain research reviews, 2003 - Elsevier
Through a widespread efferent projection system, the locus coeruleus–noradrenergic system
supplies norepinephrine throughout the central nervous system. Initial studies provided …

Locus coeruleus: a new look at the blue spot

…, C Berridge, DJ Chandler, B Waterhouse… - Nature Reviews …, 2020 - nature.com
The locus coeruleus (LC), or ‘blue spot’, is a small nucleus located deep in the brainstem
that provides the far-reaching noradrenergic neurotransmitter system of the brain. This …

A matter of focus: monoaminergic modulation of stimulus coding in mammalian sensory networks

LM Hurley, DM Devilbiss, BD Waterhouse - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2004 - Elsevier
Although the presence of neuromodulators in mammalian sensory systems has been noted
for some time, a groundswell of evidence has now begun to document the scope of these …

…, MI Freed, JA Rood, AR Cobitz, BR Waterhouse… - Diabetes …, 2006 - Am Diabetes Assoc
OBJECTIVE—The goals of this study were to determine whether improvements in metabolic
control can ameliorate the cognitive dysfunction associated with type 2 diabetes and …

Heterogeneous organization of the locus coeruleus projections to prefrontal and motor cortices

…, WJ Gao, BD Waterhouse - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
The brainstem nucleus locus coeruleus (LC) is the primary source of norepinephrine (NE) to
the mammalian neocortex. It is believed to operate as a homogeneous syncytium of …

Interaction of norepinephrine with cerebrocortical activity evoked by stimulation of somatosensory afferent pathways in the rat

BD Waterhouse, DJ Woodward - Experimental neurology, 1980 - Elsevier
This study investigated the action of norepinephrine (NE) on transmission of information
through somatosensory cortical neuronal circuits. In the forelimb region of rat somatosensory …

Progesterone alters GABA and glutamate responsiveness: a possible mechanism for its anxiolytic action

SS Smith, BD Waterhouse, JK Chapin, DJ Woodward - Brain research, 1987 - Elsevier
In this study, the neuromodulatory effects of progesterone were tested in an intact neuronal
circuit of a model extrahypothalamic CNS area. Spontaneous discharge and responses of …

Modulation of rat cortical area 17 neuronal responses to moving visual stimuli during norepinephrine and serotonin microiontophoresis

BD Waterhouse, SA Azizi, RA Burne, DJ Woodward - Brain research, 1990 - Elsevier
The present study was conducted to examine the actions of norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin
