The locus coeruleus (LC) is among the first brain regions to show degeneration and tau pathology during the early stages of AD. Previous studies have demonstrated that short-term chemogenetic LC stimulation can improve memory performance in the TgF344-AD rat model, while long-term norepinephrine reuptake inhibition can worsen memory deficits in the ADLP\n                      <jats:sup>Tau<\/jats:sup>\n                      mouse model.
