Abstract:
Detailed maps of neurochemicals in the locus coeruleus and adjacent dorsal tegmental areas are discussed in this chapter. The locus coeruleus appears to be one of the most complex brain regions with six neurochemicals (acetylcholinesterase, tyrosine hydroxylase, galanin, neuropeptide Y, neurotensin, and vasoactive intestinal protein) contained within the cell bodies.
