Optogenetic Activation of A11 Region Increases Motor Activity

Optogenetic Activation of A11 Region Increases Motor Activity

Limbic brain regions drive goal-directed behaviors. These behaviors often require dynamic motor responses, but the functional connectome of limbic structures in the diencephalon that control locomotion is not well known. The A11 region, within the posterior diencephalon has been postulated to contri...
