It has long been appreciated that NE enhances the" signal/noise" processing of sensory stimuli (Foote et al., 1975; Segal & Bloom, 1976; Water-house et al., 1998). Waterhouse and colleagues (Waterhouse et al., 1980; Waterhouse et al., 1981; Mouradian et al., 1991) dissected the receptor mechanisms underlying these effects and found that beta adrenergic receptor stimulation can enhance inhibitory responses, whereas alpha-1 adrenergic receptor stimulation can enhance excitatory responses. Such effects have been observed in a variety ofbrain regions, including auditory and somatosensory cortices, cerebellum, and hippocampus. For example, the receptive field properties of auditory cortical neurons are sharpened through an alpha-1 receptor mechanism (Manunta & Edeline, 1997), whereas the Visual field properties of eerebellar neurons are modulated by a beta receptor mechanism (Moises et al., 1990).
