The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of an noradrenergic neuron that is part of the brainstem. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron. The process by which nerve cells are generated. This includes the production of neuroblasts and their differentiation into neurons. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a noradrenergic neuron over time, from initial commitment of the cell to a specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of an noradrenergic neuron, a neuron that secretes noradrenaline. The process whereby relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state. The process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a noradrenergic neuron.
