Subthalamic projection to nucleus tegmenti pedunculopontinus in the rat.
A projection from the subthalamic nucleus to the nucleus tegmenti pedunculopontinus has been demonstrated in the rat using retrograde and anterograde transport of horseradish peroxidase. Small, well-localized injections of peroxidase in nucleus pedunculopontinus gave rise to retrogradely labelled cell bodies in the subthalamic nucleus. Injections of peroxidase restricted to the subthalamic nucleus gave terminal labelling in nucleus pedunculopontinus.
