Abstract
Microinjections of clonidine into the locus coeruleus (LC) area synchronized rat cortical EEG. This effect of clonidine was attenuated by local pretreatment of rats with idazoxan, an alpha-2 adrenoceptor antagonist. The data indicate functional role of alpha-2 adrenoceptors within LC area in regulation of ceruleocortical activity, and point at the LC as one of brain targets for the sedative action of clonidine.Entities:
