The Linear Nucleus (also known as the Rostral Linear Nucleus or Linear Nucleus of the Raphe) is a midline serotonergic structure located in the rostral medulla, just ventral to the cerebral aqueduct in the midbrain and extending into the pons. It is one of the rostral serotonergic cell groups (B1-B3) and plays important roles in mood regulation, arousal, autonomic function, and pain modulation.
