Abstract

Norepinephrine (NE), a crucial modulatory neurotransmitter, plays a significant role in human physiology. Here, we use the Z-scan technique to investigate the nonlinear properties of NE at physiological conditions. Results reveal that NE exhibits thermo-optical nonlinearity. Outcomes can be utilized to investigate noradrenergic processes in correlation with various diseases.
