pontine nucleus

The pontine nuclei project to the cerebellum, specifically the vermis and the paraflocculus.

Corticopontine fibers are projections from the cerebral cortex to the pontine nuclei.

Mossy fibers enter the granular layer from their main point of origin, the pontine nuclei.

The pontine nuclei (or griseum pontis) are a part of the pons involved in motor activity.

Granule cells receive excitatory input from mossy fibers originating from pontine nuclei.

The n.r. tegmenti pontis is topographically related to pontine nuclei (non-reticular), being just dorsal to them.

The pontine nuclei are the most traditionally studied mostly because it is easy to see which nuclei degrade when the cerebellum is amputated.

The first findings reported were decreased blood flow within the thalamus and elements of the basal ganglia and mid-brain (i.e., pontine nucleus).

From there, projections are sent to the ipsilateral pontine nucleus in the ventral pons, both of which are associated with projections to the cerebellum.

Central chromatolysis was observed mainly among neurons in the brainstem, particularly in the pontine nuclei and the cerebellar dentate nuclei.

Mossy fibers can originate from the pontine nuclei, which are clusters of neurons located in the pons that carry information from the contralateral cerebral cortex.

The rostral half of the flocculus also receives mossy fiber projections from the pontine nuclei; however, it receives very little projection from the vestibular system.

Math 1-null mice have been shown to lack several rhombic lip derivatives, including the granule neurons of the cerebellum and the pontine nucleus of the precerebellar system.

The cerebellar nuclei receive afferent projections from the inferior olive, lateral reticular nucleus, upper cervical and lumbar spinal segments, and the Pontine nuclei.

The chief sensory nucleus (or "pontine nucleus" or "main sensory nucleus" or "primary nucleus" or "principle nucleus")

The pontomesencephalotegmental complex acts mainly on M1 receptors in the brainstem, deep cerebellar nuclei, pontine nuclei, locus caeruleus, raphe nucleus, lateral reticular nucleus and inferior olive.

The other four nuclei (the external cuneate nucleus, the lateral reticular nucleus, the pontine nucleus, and the thalamic reticular nucleus) project mossy fibers to innervate granule neurons.

Corticopontine fibres carry information from the primary motor cortex to the ipsilateral pontine nucleus in the ventral pons, and the pontocerebellar projection then carries that information to the contralateral cerebellum via the middle cerebellar peduncle.

All cerebral cortical areas that are targeted by the dentate project back on the cerebellum via efferents to Pontine nuclei, and cortical areas that do not project onto the cerebellum are not targets of dentate output.

In the rat the primary visual cortex has a sizable projection to the pontine nuclei in the brainstem (Legg and Glickstein 1984), while this projection is extremely sparse in the monkey (Glickstein, May, and Mercier 1985).

The receptor is also widely distributed in the brain, including in the cortex, anterior olfactory nucleus, lateral septum, hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, central gray, pontine nuclei, interpeduncular nucleus, substantia nigra, raphe complex, locus coeruleus, and spinal cord.

Thus, for example, in the former, we found NK-ir fibers in the superior colliculus, the restiform body, the pyramidal tract, and in the pontine nuclei, in which in the cat no immunoreactive fibers were found [ 15 ] .

In the CNS the receptor appears in the putamen, caudate nucleus, nucleus accumbens, globus pallidus and substantia nigra and to a lesser extent in the neocortex, raphe and pontine nuclei and some areas of the thalamus.

The cochlear nucleus receives input from each spiral ganglion, but also receives input from other parts of the brain, such as auditory cortex, pontine nuclei, trigeminal ganglion and nucleus, dorsal column nuclei and the second dorsal root ganglion.
