A11 cell group - BrainInfo

A11 cell group (A11)

The term A11 cell group refers to a small group of cells fluorescent for dopamine that are located in the posterior periventricular nucleus and the intermediate periventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in the macaque ( Felten-1983 ). In the rat, small numbers of cells assigned to this group are also found in the posterior hypothalamic area, the supramammillary area and the reuniens nucleus ( Dahlstrom-1964 ).

Also known as: A11 cell group, A11 dopamine cells, dopaminergic group A11

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.
