-
refers to the combination of the median raphe nucleus and the paramedian raphe nucleus in the midline of the pontine reticular formation. The combination is found in the human ( Hornung-2012 ), the macaque ( Paxinos-2009a ), the rat ( Swanson-2004 ), and the mouse ( Franklin-2008 ). Functionally it is part of the behavioral state system ( Swanson-2004 ). (Note that the term \'superior central nucleus\' was long used in reference simply to the median raphe nucleus.)
