Frontal 2 - Attention
Other noradrenergic projections from the locus coeruleus to frontal cortex are thought to mediate the effects of norepinephrine on attention, concentration, and other cognitive functions, such as working memory and the speed of information processing. Alpha 2 postsynaptic receptors may be important in transducing postsynaptic signals regulating attention in postsynaptic target neurons.
