The brainstem locomotor system is believed to be organized serially from the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) to reticulospinal neurons, which in turn project to locomotor neurons in the spinal ...
The brain orchestrates movement via two major neural highways descending to the spinal cord: the corticospinal tract (CST) and reticulospinal tract (RST). The CST is thought to be the dominant pathway ...
A newly discovered population of glutamatergic brainstem neurons that can be activated by muscarinic agonists augments transmission from the mesencephalic locomotor region to reticulospinal neurons in ...
