B6 cell group - BrainInfo

B6 cell group (B6)

The term B6 cell group refers to a group of cells fluorescent for serotonin located in the floor of the fourth ventricle dorsal to, and between, the right and left medial longitudinal fasciculus of the pons in the primate ( Felten-1983 ) and the rodent ( Dahlstrom-1964 ).

Also known as: serotonergic group B6, B6 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.
