A14 cell group (A14)

The term A14 cell group refers to a few cells fluorescent for dopamine observed in and near the preoptic periventricular nucleus of the primate ( Felten-1983 ). In the mouse, cells in the anterodorsal preoptic nucleus are assigned to this group ( Paxinos-2001 ).

Also known as: A14 dopamine cells, dopaminergic group A14, cell group A14, A14 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.
