Description of part

The A5 noradrenergic group (Dahlstrom and Fuxe 1964) and associated depressor region (see Loewy et al. 1986) appear to be centered in the ventrolateral regions of the PRnc, including the region of the rubrospinal tract, although a few cells alos appear into the periolivary region (see Westlund et al. 1983; Bryum et al. 1984). Most of the cells appear to lie adjacent to the superior salivatory nucleus (see note 300).

Part type

gray matter

Nomenclature

Swanson-1992

Endorsement

The approach used by the collator Mihail Bota is not endorsed by the author of the nomenclature.

Collator argument

The hierarchy was constructed and adapted according to the information found in the Rat Brain Atlas, Swanson 1992. We have considered three types of brain structures: grisea (neural masses), fiber tracts, and ventricles. The hierarchical tree was constructed by taking into account two criteria: the set of classes and subclasses of the basic cell groups and fiber systems of the rat CNS and the topological positions of structures relative to superstructures.
