B3 cell group - BrainInfo

B3 cell group (B3)

The term B3 cell group refers to a large group of cells fluorescent for serotonin that occupies the midline raphe magnus nucleus and adjacent structures in the caudal medulla of the rodent ( Dahlstrom-1964 ) and the primate ( Felten-1983 ). Its boundary with the serotonergic group B1 is indistinct.

Also known as: serotonergic group B3, B3 cell group

Models Where It Appears

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.
