Editing Locus coeruleus (section)

===Inputs===
The locus coeruleus receives inputs from a number of other brain regions, primarily:
*The [[medial (anatomy)|Medial]] [[prefrontal cortex]], whose connection is constant, excitatory, and increases in strength with raised activity levels in the subject
*The [[Nucleus paragigantocellularis]], which integrates [[Autonomic nervous system|autonomic]] and [[natural environment|environment]]al stimuli
*The [[Nucleus prepositus]], which is involved in gaze
*The Lateral hypothalamus, which releases [[orexin]], which, as well as its other functions, is excitatory in the locus coeruleus.
