DOI: 10.1002/cne.25269
Abstract: In mammals, the zona incerta is thought to be involved in a number of behaviors: visceral activity, arousal, attention, and posture and locomotion. These diverse and complex features suggested that the zona incerta functions as… read more here.

Zona Incerta: An Integrative Node for Global Behavioral Modulation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Trends in Neurosciences"
DOI: 10.1016/j.tins.2019.11.007
Abstract: Zona incerta (ZI) is a largely inhibitory subthalamic region connecting with many brain areas. Early studies have suggested involvement of ZI in various functions such as visceral activities, arousal, attention, and locomotion, but the specific… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41593-018-0248-4
Abstract: The formation and retrieval of conditioned fear memories critically depend on the amygdala. Here we identify an inhibitory projection from somatostatin-positive neurons in the central amygdala to parvalbumin-positive neurons in the zona incerta that is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sleep/zsac306
Abstract: STUDY OBJECTIVES Because in various brain regions the activity of GABA neurons is largely unknown, we measured in-vivo changes in calcium fluorescence in GABA neurons in the zona incerta (ZI) and the ventral lateral periaqueductal… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnbeh.2021.743484
Abstract: Zona incerta (ZI), a largely inhibitory subthalamic region connected with many brain areas, has been suggested to serve as an integrative node for modulation of behaviors and physiological states, such as fear memory conditioning and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnmol.2022.843754
Abstract: Pain and itch are intricately entangled at both circuitry and behavioral levels. Emerging evidence indicates that parvalbumin (PV)-expressing neurons in zona incerta (ZI) are critical for promoting nocifensive behaviors. However, the role of these neurons… read more here.

Projections from the Rostral Zona Incerta to the Thalamic Paraventricular Nucleus Mediate Nociceptive Neurotransmission in Mice

DOI: 10.3390/metabo13020226
Abstract: Zona incerta (ZI) is an integrative subthalamic region in nociceptive neurotransmission. Previous studies demonstrated that the rostral ZI (ZIR) is an important gamma–aminobutyric acid-ergic (GABAergic) source to the thalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVT), but whether the… read more here.
