This page covers biological details of component Raphe Nucleus Linearis.
Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

  * *Top-down path to region*: Midbrain Mesencephalon -> [BrainCenterMM_RF Mesencephalic Reticular Formation] (MM.RF) -> Mesencephalic Reticular Formation, Midline Column (MM.RF.MID) -> [BrainRegionLMC_HP_RP_LI Raphe Nucleus Linearis] (LMC.HP.RP.LI) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: nucleus
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaLMC Lower Brain - Modulatory Contol Area] (LMC)
  * *Area circuit*: Serotonin - Feelings of Well-Being and Happiness (5HT)
  * *Role*: processor.autonomic
  * *Function*: Release of 5-HT was only obtained on stimulation of this nucleus
  * *Notes to function*: 
   * B8, Does not project to CR, but to forebrain, to dorsal raphe nucleus (lies above DRN)
   *  dendrites to vascular plexus, maybe sensing blood pressure
