Figure 9

Histologically reconstructed locations of SNc-projecting neurons in and around the PPTg (monkey Z). The locations of the neurons are projected to two Nissl-stained coronal sections in the central PPTg area (A and B). Section A is rostral to section B by 0.5 mm. Inset figure indicates the image of the whole section. Indicated for each neuron are 1) information encoded by the neuron (by color) and 2) the location of the antidromic activation site in the SNc (M, C, L). A marking lesion is visible in each of section A and B (orange arrow). SC (superior colliculus), IC (inferior colliculus), CuN (cuneiform nucleus), PAG (periaqueductal gray), PPTg (pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus), scp (superior cerebellar peduncle), mlf (medial longitudinal fasciculus). Scale bars indicate 1 mm.
