TL;DR
Data from studies of the function of the nucleus locus coereleus in non-human primates are presented in the context of recent anatomical, physiological, pharmacological, and animal behavioral experiments, suggesting implications for the treatment of anxiety, drug addictions, pain, and psychosomatic diseases.
Abstract
The hypothesis that brain noradrenergic systems have a broad biological function which is related to human fear or anxiety is reviewed. Data from studies of the function of the nucleus locus coereleus in non-human primates are presented in the context of recent anatomical, physiological, pharmacological, and animal behavioral experiments. Implications are suggested for the treatment of anxiety, drug addictions, pain, and psychosomatic diseases.

It is concluded that systemically administered clonidine inhibits the firing of brain NE neurons by acting directly upon adrenergic receptors located on or near the soma of these neurons but that the concomitant inhibition of 5-HT neurons is an indirect effect (possibly secondary to an impairment in noracrenergic transmission).

Although there does appear to be a fairly consistent relationship between the effects of pharmacological agents on norepinephrine metabolism and on affective state, a rigorous extrapolation from pharmacological studies to pathophysiology cannot be made, and confirmation of this hypothesis must ultimately depend upon direct demonstration of the biochemical abnormality in the naturally occurring illness.
