Simultaneous lesions of dorsal and median raphe nuclei were induced after 15 days postjunctional supersensitivity to serotonin in isolated segments of cat middle cerebral artery. The same result was obtained when only the dorsal raphe nucleus was destroyed. The lesion of the median raphe nucleus brought about an increased contractile response to serotonin only at the three first doses used. The contractile response to noradrenaline was unaffected by these treatments. These results suggest the existence of a serotonergic innervation of the cat middle cerebral artery whose main origin might be the dorsal raphe nucleus.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
