2020, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :The in vivo action of NE has been observed to primarily inhibit gating of the vestibular neurons (Licata et al., 1993) via enhancement of inhibition by GABA (Di Mauro et al., 2008). In the rat lateral VN, NE was also observed to predominantly inhibit glutamate-induced neuronal activation (Barresi et al., 2009). In the inferior VN and medial VN, NE predominantly activates neurons via NAα1-R and NAβ2-R, whereas it inhibits them via NAα2-R (Peng et al., 2016; Podda et al., 2001).

2014, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :NA enhances NMDAR-mediated excitation in a significant majority of cells and has a depressive action on about half of the LVN neurons tested. In contrast, NA application induced depression more frequently than enhancement of excitations induced by glutamate application (Barresi et al., 2009). The influence of NA on NMDAR-mediated responses could therefore be viewed as a component of a wider control exerted by NA in the short and long term on glutamatergic transmission to secondary vestibular neurons.
