the excitatory input and post-synaptic dynamics of pontine reticular nucleus reticulospinal neurons are indeed intricately modulated by the activation of alpha1- and alpha2-adrenoceptors.

Study showed that alpha2A adrenergic receptors are highly expressed in the cell bodies and axons of mesoprefrontal dopaminergic neurons provides a morphological basis to the vast functional evidence that somatodendritic and nerve-terminal alpha2A adrenergic receptors control dopaminergic activity and dopamine release in the prefrontal cortex.

Data show that the central alpha2 receptor agonists clonidine and dexmedetomidine are effective to attenuate local and systemic injury in experimental severe necrotizing pancreatitis (SNP) and should be evaluated in the clinical setting.
