A cortico-subcortical loop for motor control via the pontine reticular formation (Updated October 4, 2024).

The article discusses a study on a cortico-subcortical loop for motor control via the pontine reticular formation, which is a part of the brainstem. The research suggests that the pontine reticular formation plays a role in regulating motor activity parallel to the cortex-basal ganglia-thalamus loop. This finding indicates the existence of multiple neuronal circuits involved in controlling movement, with the pontine reticular formation contributing to the coordination of motor functions.
