The mechanisms of locus coeruleus-norepinephrine system in attention

Key Points

• Attention is significantly influenced by the norepinephrine system, driving cognitive functions effectively.
• Key evidence shows that activating the locus coeruleus enhances arousal scores and attentional focus in subjects.
• The approach involves analyzing neurophysiological mechanisms driving attention through neurotransmitter action.
• Understanding this system highlights its potential impact on attentional disorders and cognitive function.
