Disease Info

Prevalence	~280 million people worldwide
Subnuclear organization	The LC is divided into functional subregions with distinct projection patterns:
Dorsal LC (dLC)	Projects primarily to the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus
Ventral LC (vLC)	Projects to the amygdala, hypothalamus, and spinal cord
Peri-LC zone	Contains intermixed neurons with other neurochemical identities
Dendritic architecture	LC neurons have highly collateralized dendrites that extend within the LC and into adjacent brainstem regions, allowing for extensive local circuitry integration.
Associated Genes	ABCA1, ABCB1, ABCG2, ACAT1, ACE, ADRA2A, AGING, AKT
Therapeutic Agents	ANTIDEPRESSANTS, LITHIUM, (R)-KETAMINE
KG Connections	2719 knowledge graph edges
Databases	OMIM Orphanet ClinicalTrials PubMed
