Control of locomotor speed, arousal, and hippocampal theta rhythms by the nucleus incertus

In addition to activation of locomotor circuits, navigation also requires regulation of arousal and spatial memory processes. Here the authors identify neuromedin B neurons in the nucleus incertus and their subcortical projections in controlling these various processes during navigation.
