A16 cell group (A16)

The term A16 cell group refers to a group of cells fluorescent for dopamine located in the olfactory bulb of vertebrates, including the human, macaque, rat and mouse ( Smeets-1994 ). Functionally it is part of the olfactory system, which mediates the sense of smell and may contribute to the evaluation of smells a positive or negative ( Bowden-2021 ) Updated 8 Jun 2024.

Also known as: dopaminergic group A16, A16 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.
