The pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus as a motor and cognitive interface between the cerebellum and basal ganglia
As an important component of ascending activating systems, brainstem cholinergic neurons in the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) are involved in the regulation of motor control (locomotion, posture and gaze) and cognitive processes (attention, learning, and memory). The PPTg is highly inter...
