The brainstem nucleus medullary reticular formation ventral part (MdV) stands out as specifically targeting subpopulations of forelimb-innervating motor neurons.

Engaging the brain’s plasticity by stimulating the locus coeruleus, a region in the brainstem, could be a clinically relevant approach to optimize the efficacy of cochlear implants in restoring ...

Mice are prey animals, and while they must be able to move around looking for food, it is just as important that they can get to safety quickly—two opposite needs that are equally vital to their ...

Synaptic terminals of premotor neurons in the studied brainstem nucleus (blue). Axons of a marked spinal interneuron subpopulation terminating in a specific domain of this brainstem nucleus (pink).

Information to brainstem nucleus segregated by function . ... Motor-Circuit Communication Matrix from Spinal Cord to Brainstem Neurons Revealed by Developmental Origin. Cell, Volume 156, ...

However, the job of the endorestiform nucleus itself remains a mystery for now. Paxinos said he can only guess at its function, "but given the part of the brain where it has been found, it might ...

Acetylcholine, a ubiquitous neuromodulator in the brain, influences the encoding of acoustic information at a brainstem nucleus that inhibits neural circuits responsible for sound-localization.

Researchers have developed a new imaging method, D-PSCAN, which enables minimally invasive, wide-field, high-resolution imaging of the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) in living mice. This ...
