The pedunculopontine nucleus

GARCIARILL, E·1991·Progress in Neurobiology

Abstract

In an effort to account for a large number of reported functions mediated by a small portion of the midbrain, a hypothesis is advanced as a basis for discussion and not as established fact and is guided by reports from a large number of laboratories working on the same region but using widely disparate preparations. Overall, the hypothesized model suggests an underlying mechanism of action for what is essentially the ascending reticular activating system. The model proposed will hopefully be tested stringently in order to arrive at a better understanding of brain stem mechanisms modulating a host of rhythmic functions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
