Description of part

According to Andrezik et al. 1981. Although this problem has not been addressed in detail, it seems likely from published maps (see Dahlstrom and Fuxe 1964, Hokfelt et al. 1984, Sawchenko et al. 1985, Giuliano et al. 1989, Ellenberger et al. 1990) that the C1 adrenergic group, the A1 noradrenergic group, the ventrolateral medulla, and the rostral ventrolateral medulla are centered in (though not necessarily confined strictly to) the PGRNI, with relatively minor possible involvement of the ventral division of the nucleus ambiguus (see note 295).
