Preferred Label : solitary nucleus;
MeSH definition : Gray matter located in the dorsomedial part of the MEDULLA OBLONGATA associated with
the solitary tract. The solitary nucleus receives inputs from most organ systems including
the terminations of the facial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves. It is a major
coordinator of AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM regulation of cardiovascular, respiratory,
gustatory, gastrointestinal, and chemoreceptive aspects of HOMEOSTASIS. The solitary
nucleus is also notable for the large number of NEUROTRANSMITTERS which are found
therein.;
