Our research has demonstrated that norepinephrine can increase the gain of neuronal ensembles in the BLA, which is especially important during times of stress or worry.

The third study, led by Marc Freeman of Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, reported that norepinephrine rendered astrocytes more reactive to other neurotransmitters, including dopamine.

Scientists reveal transport mechanism of norepinephrine transporter and binding mode of small molecule and peptide drugs. Story by Science X staff • 3mo.
