Differential effects on locomotor activity of injections of procaine into mediodorsal thalamus and pedunculopontine nucleus

Mogenson, Gordon J., Wu, Michael·1988·Brain Research Bulletin

Abstract

A comparison was made of the contributions to locomotor activity of output projections of the subpallidal region to the mediodorsal thalamus (MD) and to the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN). Locomotor activity elicited by injections of picrotoxin into the subpallidal region was reduced by the administration of procaine to the pedunculopontine nucleus but not by the administration of procaine to mediodorsal thalamus. Since the pedunculopontine nucleus is part of the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) it appears that subpallido-pedunculopontine projections contribute to the locomotor component of adaptive behaviors associated with limbic integrative activities.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Microinjections of the local anesthesia procaine into the midbrain extrapyramidal area, but not the medial mediodorsal thalamic nucleus, attenuate heightened locomotion induced by picrotoxin injections into the ventral pallidum.

    “However, microinjections of the local anesthesia procaine into the midbrain extrapyramidal area, but not the medial mediodorsal thalamic nucleus, attenuate heightened locomotion induced by picrotoxin injections into the ventral pallidum (Mogenson and Wu, 1988).”

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.
