Popis: | Efferent projections of the thalamic locomotor region were investigated using the horseradish peroxidase technique of retrograde axonal transport. This enzyme was injected into different brain structures. Function was monitored during a micro-injection into the locomotor areas. It was found that direct descending projections from the hypothalamic locomotor region lead mainly to ipsilateral structures and reach the lumbar sections of the spinal cord. Neurons of the locomotor area of the hypothalamus make their major connections with thelocus coeruleus area and the medial brainstem reticular formation. Projections were observed from the hypothalamic locomotor region to the mesencephalic locomotor area and the locomotor strip. |
