Pedunculopontine nucleus: An integrative view with implications on Deep Brain Stimulation
The pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) is a reticular nucleus located in the mesencephalic and upper pontine tegmentum. Initially, characterized by its predominant cholinergic projection neurons, it was associated with the “mesencephalic locomotor region” and “reticular activating system”. Furthermore,...
