The paper examine the topographical structure, gene expression, and behavioral functions of noradrenaline neurons in the mouse locus coeruleus (LC-NE). Researchers discovered that these noradrenergic cells are spatially organized along a dorsal-to-ventilating axis, where dorsal neurons primarily project to the forebrain while ventral neurons connect to the hindbrain and spinal cord. Furthermore, single-nucleus RNA sequencing reveals graded gene expression patterns that smoothly correlate with these anatomical projection targets and intrinsic cellular properties. Electrophysiological and…
