Monoaminergic cell groups
- Monoaminergic cell groups
-
Monoaminergic cell groups refers to collections of neurons in the central nervous system that have been demonstrated by histochemical fluorescence to contain one of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine [1] or epinephrine.[2] Thus, it represents the combination of catecholaminergic cell groups and serotonergic cell groups.
