From: Parallel descending dopaminergic connectivity of A13 cells to the brainstem locomotor centers
Dopaminergic innervations of the locomotor centers: The schematic shows connectivity between basal ganglia, MLR, MRF and spinal locomotor network that is known to produce locomotion. The DAergic contribution to the classical pathway consisted ascending DAergic projections from SNc to basal ganglia. However findings from our present work and others7 show novel parallel descending DAergic projections from A13 and SNc to MLR respectively.
