Aaq cell group (Aaq)

The term Aaq cell group refers to a sparse group of cells fluorescent for dopamine that is located in the rostral half of the periaqueductal gray in primates. It is more prominent in the squirrel monkey (Saimiri) than the macaque ( Felten-1983 ).

Also known as: dopaminergic group Aaq, Aaq 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.
