This study identifies the physiological and behavioral conditions that trigger dopamine release from locus coeruleus axons, showing modality-dependent release constraints.

The paper identifies diverse GABAergic neurons in the locus coeruleus (LC) dendritic field that modulate arousal and behaviors through transcriptional, spatial, and functional diversity.

This study shows that locus coeruleus norepinephrine (LCNE) activity is coupled to movement initiation and arrest during waking and anesthesia, revealing its role in coordinating arousal and motor activity.

The paper investigates how catecholamine signaling is affected by activity levels, showing that high tonic activity reduces phasic transmission and desensitizes responses.
