ALPHABETICAL BRAIN VOCABULARY Flash Card #70 - Details WHAT ARE YOUR "NOREPINEPHRINE NEURONS" AND WHY ARE THEY SO IMPORTANT? Your NOREPINEPHRINE NEURONS are distributed ("projected") outward from your "locus coeruleus" throughout your brain. They influence nearly every aspect of your thinking and behavior, including your level of arousal or CONSCIOUS AWARENESS and your craving for food! Your LOCUS COERULEUS is located under your CEREBELLUM. Your NOREPINEPHRINE NEURONS are also known as the hormone "adrenaline," which you experience whenever you get excited.
