Noradrenaline (norepinephrine) in mice and rats is a key neurotransmitter and hormone that regulates stress responses, attention, arousal, and cardiovascular function—similar to its role in humans. It is synthesized in noradrenergic neurons located primarily in the locus coeruleus and released throughout the brain and peripheral nervous system. In mice, noradrenaline serves as an indicator of sympathetic nervous system activity and central arousal states, influencing behavior, metabolism, and physiological homeostasis. Its levels can be measured in brain tissue, plasma, or urine, providing insight into both neural activity and systemic stress responses.
In research, mouse noradrenaline is used extensively to study the neurobiology of stress, emotion, and disease. Measuring noradrenaline levels or manipulating its signaling helps researchers investigate models of anxiety, depression, attention-deficit disorders, and neurodegenerative conditions. Genetic or pharmacological alterations in noradrenergic pathways allow scientists to explore how this neurotransmitter modulates behavior, cognition, and autonomic regulation. Because of the close similarity between murine and human noradrenergic systems, studies in mice provide valuable translational data for understanding human psychiatric and neurological disorders and for testing new therapeutic interventions targeting adrenergic function.
