B7 cell group (B7)

The term B7 cell group refers to a group of cells fluorescent for serotonin located in the pontine central gray, the dorsal raphe nucleus and adjacent structures in the primate ( Felten-1983 ) and the rodent ( Dahlstrom-1964 ).

Also known as: serotonergic group B7, B7 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.
