News Article /

Contributed by Megan St. Peters and Martin Sarter Departments of Psychology at Ferrum College, Ferrum, VA and University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI Increasing attentional “effort” as a result of challenging circumstances, and as a function to maintain or recover attentional performance, is pervasive in our daily lives.[1] Attentional effort is more than a function

Control of the central chemoreflex by A5 noradrenergic neurons in rats.

Taxini CL, Takakura AC, Gargaglioni LH, Moreira TS (2011) Control of the central chemoreflex by A5 noradrenergic neurons in rats. Neuroscience 199:177-186. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2011.09.068 Summary: The A5 group of noradrenergic neurons in the ventrolateral pons is involved in the control of sympathetic and respiratory networks. Using anti-DBH-SAP (Cat. #IT-03) the authors eliminated TH+ neurons in
