Serotonin neurons and fibers on the subpial surface of the ventral medulla oblongata in the rat are described by immunohistochemistry and autoradiography. The neurons are concentrated in the area encompassed by the origins of the abducens, hypoglossal, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves. The highest number of serotonin surface neurons appears along the median medullary fissure or basilar sulcus, where they may represent the most ventral extensions of the raphe pallidus group. As these cells lie on the surface of the brain, they could be directly affected by alterations in the chemical composition of the cerebrospinal fluid and, depending on their connections, could influence important medullary functions.
采用免疫组织化学和放射自显影技术对大鼠延髓腹侧软膜表面的5-羟色胺神经元和纤维进行了描述。这些神经元集中在展神经、舌下神经、舌咽神经和迷走神经起始部所包围的区域。5-羟色胺表面神经元数量最多的部位出现在延髓正中裂或基底沟沿线，它们可能代表了中缝苍白球组最腹侧的延伸部分。由于这些细胞位于脑表面，它们可能会直接受到脑脊液化学成分变化的影响，并根据其连接情况，可能会影响延髓的重要功能。
