| | Norepinephrine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Neurons using norepinephrine as their neurotransmitter project bilaterally from the locus ceruleus along distinct pathways to the cerebral cortex, limbic system, and the spinal cord, among other projections. | | | This nucleus is the origin of most norepinephrine pathways in the brain. | | | Norepinephrine is mainly used to treat patients in septic shock. |

| | ADHD and Norepinephrine / Epinephrine -- Neurotransmitter.net |
| | In brain regions expressing both the DAT and the norepinephrine transporter (NET), the relative contributions of dopamine and norepinephrine to ADHD pathophysiology and therapeutic response are obfuscated by the capacity of the NET to clear dopamine as well as norepinephrine. | | | After exercise, epinephrine and norepinephrine increased in both control and ADHD subjects (p = 0.006 and p = 0.002, respectively), but the responses were substantially blunted in the ADHD group (p = 0.018) even though the work performed did not differ from controls. | | | The peripheral epinephrine system may be a critical factor in the response of individuals with ADHD to stimulant medication. |

| | Most of the norepinephrine action takes place in an area of the brainstem known as the locus coeruleus, which monitors external stimuli and our responses (such as fight or flight) and pain. | | | A small study found the dopamine agonist (enhancer) Mirapex, an anti-Parkinson’s drug that works on the nigrostratial dopamine pathway (projecting from the substantia nigra of the brainstem to the basal ganglia or striatum), produced a significant response in depressed patients. | | | Tyrosine, a precursor of both norepinephrine and dopamine, can act as an energizer, according to natural treatment advocates, and is available over the counter. |
