The firing rate of locus coeruleus (LC) neurons in rat brain slices was increased reversibly by agents that either elevate intracellular levels of adenosine 3'3'cyclic monophosphate (CAMP) or mimic its actions (e.g., forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase, 8-Br-cAMP, a membrane permeable analo
