DOI: 10.1016/j.neures.2020.07.001
Abstract: This study investigates whether the swallowing reflex is modulated by stimulation of the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PTg). Sprague-Dawley rats under urethane anesthesia were used. The swallowing reflex was induced by electrical stimulation of the superior… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neures.2021.01.006
Abstract: As a major hippocampal output structure, the subiculum projects to diverse cortical and subcortical areas, and its projection to the medial mammillary nucleus (MM) has been implicated in memory. Major efferent targets of the MM… read more here.
