Abstract

Abstract The locus coeruleus (LC) supplies norepinephrine (NE) to the entire forebrain, regulates many fundamental brain functions, and is implicated in several neuropsychiatric diseases. Although selective manipulation of the LC is not possible in humans, studies have suggested that strong LC activation might shift network connectivity to favor salience processing. To test this hypothesis, we use a mouse model to study the impact of LC stimulation on large-scale functional connectivity by combining chemogenetic activation of the LC with resting-state fMRI, an approach we term “chemo-connectomics”. LC activation rapidly interrupts ongoing behavior and strongly increases brain-wide connectivity, with the most profound effects in the salience and amygdala networks. We reveal a direct correlation between functional connectivity changes and transcript levels of alpha-1, alpha-2 , and beta-1 adrenoceptors across the brain, and a positive correlation between NE turnover and functional connectivity within select brain regions. These results represent the first brain-wide functional connectivity mapping in response to LC activation, and demonstrate a causal link between receptor expression, brain states and functionally connected large-scale networks at rest. We propose that these changes in large-scale network connectivity are critical for optimizing neural processing in the context of increased vigilance and threat detection.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
