- The paraventricular thalamus (PVT) is a part of the brain that helps control how awake or alert we feel.
- It gets signals from many parts of the brain and sends signals out to help manage things like sleep, attention, memory, and how we feel about pain.
- Scientists are studying the PVT more because it might play a role in sleep problems and mood swings, and this review aims to explain more about it for future research.
Article Synopsis
- - Norepinephrine (NE) is a key neurotransmitter released from neurons in the locus coeruleus, playing a significant role in various physiological and pathological processes in the central nervous system.
- - Neuroinflammation is often seen in neurological diseases, and the activation of microglia (immune cells in the brain) is crucial to this process.
- - NE interacts with different types of adrenergic receptors on microglia, leading to changes in their activation and thereby influencing conditions like chronic pain, anxiety, and depression.
