Introduction: Noradrenergic cells in LC participate in the process of cortical activation and behavioral arousal. The evidence suggests that locus ceoruleus (LC) plays an important role in the sleep-wake cycle. The aim of this study was stereological estimation of cavity caused by lesion and assessment of sleep stages after bilateral lesion of the LC. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats we...
