Dorsal raphe nucleus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dorsal raphe nucleus is one of the raphe nuclei. It is situated in the brainstem at the midline. It has rostral and caudal subdivisions:
- The rostral aspect of the dorsal raphe is further divided into interfascicular, ventral, ventrolateral and dorsal subnuclei.
- The projections of the dorsal raphe have been found to vary topographically, and thus the subnuclei differ in their projections.[1]
