A5 cell group (A5)

The term A5 cell group refers to a group of cells in the vicinity of the superior olivary complex in the pontine tegmentum that label for norepinephine in primates ( Felten-1983 ), rodents ( Dahlstrom-1964 ) and other mammals ( Kitahama-1994 ).

Also known as: A5 cell group, noradrenergic group A5, A5 noradrenaline cells

Monoamine Cell Groups

are collections of neurons in the central nervous system that have been demonstrated by histochemical fluorescence to contain one of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine ( Fuxe-1970 ) or epinephrine ( Kitahama-1994 ). They are classified respectively as serotonergic cell groups, dopaminergic cell groups, noradrenergic cell groups and adrenergic cell groups.
