Description of part

Meessen and Olszewski 1949. The A5 noradrenergic group (Dahlström and Fuxe 1964) and associated depressor region (see Loewy et al. 1986) appear to be centered in ventrolateral regions of the PRNc, including the region of the rubrospinal tract, although a few cells also appear to extend into the periolivary region (see Westlund et al. 1983; Byrum et al. 1984). Most of the cells appear to lie adjacent to the superior salivatory nucleus (see note 301).
