Abstract: The locomotor role of meso-diencephalic dopaminergic (DA) neurons is traditionally associated with their ascending pathways to the basal ganglia, which project to the Mesencephalic Locomotor Region (MLR), a brainstem region controlling locomotion. However, descending DA… read more here.

Abstract: Three new and closely complementary studies have defined the architecture of the circuits underlying the descending control of locomotion, identifying neurons that drive fast motor responses and those that seem to be specialised for exploratory… read more here.
