In recent years, the role of the area around the upper brainstem, particularly the pedunculopontine (PPN) region and the zona incerta (ZI), in the initiation and control of movement has generated much clinical interest. Using electrophysiological and pharmacological methods, we have further explored

## Abstract During certain movements (termed “type I,” “instrumental,” or “voluntary”), the rodent hippocampal EEG is domicated by regular 7–10 Hz waves. This “theta rhythm” is accompanied by increased firing of hippocampal interneurons and dentate gyrus granule cells. No obvious theta rhythm is pr
## Abstract Axonal selection of ipsilateral and/or contralateral targets is essential for integrating bilateral sensory information and for coordinated movement. The molecular processes that determine ipsilateral and contralateral target choice are not fully understood. We examined this target sele
Reciprocal change of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) recorded from the agonist and antagonist muscles of the forearm was studied in 10 normal subjects in whom transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was applied to the hand motor area before voluntary wrist movements. MEP recorded from the agonist mus
