2-Minute Neuroscience: Norepinephrine

2-Minute Neuroscience: Norepinephrine

Norepinephrine, also known as noradrenaline, is a neurotransmitter and hormone that plays critical roles in the function of the nervous system. In this video, I discuss norepinephrine synthesis, where norepinephrine-producing neurons are concentrated, norepinephrine receptors, and the functions of norepinephrine.
