monoaminergic cell groups

The term monoaminergic cell groups usually refers to collections of neurons in the central nervous system that have been demonstrated by histochemical fluorescence to contain one of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine ( Kitahama-19946 ) or epinephrine ( Kitahama-1994 ). Thus, it represents the combination of catecholaminergic cell groups and serotonergic cell groups .

Also known as: monoamine cell groups, monoaminergic cell groups, monoamine-containing cell groups, monoaminergic nuclei

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.
