Figure 11. Pontine neural circuitry regulating motor behaviors and arousal.

Figure 11

PPT cholinergic neurons regulate arousal via ascending projections to the thalamus and basal forebrain and motor function via descending projections to the RVM (green color). The reticulospinal neurons (red color) regulate motor behavior via a direct projection to the spinal cord (red color).
