Red nucleus: role in motor control.
Experimental reports in the past year have provided a better understanding of the motor functions of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the red nucleus, and of the sensorimotor properties of single rubral neurons. These data fit well within the framework of a neural network model of the rubrocerebellar system.
