This tegmental nucleus is part of the theta network.
2.
Opiates affect dopamine neurotransmission in the nucleus accumbens through their disinhibition of the GABA-based negative dopaminergic feedback system in the rostromedial tegmental nucleus.
3.
The cell group involved in the first pathway is an acetylcholine-producing cell group called pedunculopontine and laterodorsal tegmental nucleus ( PPT / LDT ).
4.
Lesions to the pendunculopontine tegmental nucleus were performed through bilateral N-methyl-D-aspartate ( NDMA ) lesions leading to no conditioned place preference.
5.
The laterodorsal tegmental nucleus may be involved in modulating sustained attention or in mediating alerting responses, and also in the generation of REM sleep ( along with the pedunculopontine nucleus ).
6.
The pontine tegmentum contains pontine reticular formation, the mesopontine cholinergic system comprising the pedunculopontine nucleus and the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus, and the respiritory centres-the pneumotaxic centre and the apneustic centre.
7.
HD cells are found in many brain areas, including the cortical regions of postsubiculum ( also known as the dorsal presubiculum ), retrosplenial cortex, lateral mammillary nucleus, dorsal tegmental nucleus and striatum.
8.
The lateral habenula functions to oppose the action of the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus in the acquisition of avoidance responses but not the processing of avoidance later on when it is a memory, motivation or its execution.
9.
The outputs of the lateral habenula target dopaminergic regions ( substantia nigra pars compacta and the ventral tegmental area ), serotonergic regions ( dorsal raphe nuclei ), and a cholinergic region ( the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus ).
10.
The "'midbrain reticular formation ( MRF; mesencephalic reticular formation; tegmental reticular formation; formatio reticularis ( tegmenti ) mesencephali ) "'is a structure in the midbrain consisting of the dorsal tegmental nucleus, ventral tegmental nucleus, and cuneiform nucleus.
