Abstract:Highlights: Regions such as the MLR were discovered using electrical stimulation Genetic and optogenetic techniques are now revealing functional heterogeneity within brainstem nuclei Specific neurotransmitter identity has been linked to distinct functional roles We review advances across vertebrate models in understanding supraspinal control of locomotion
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
