A6sc cell group (A6sc)

The term A6sc cell group refers to a group of cells fluorescent for norepinephrine that are scattered in the subceruleus nucleus of the macaque ( Felten-1983, German-1975 ).

Also known as: noradrenergic group A6sc, A6sc 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.
