Components
(generated)
Component items:
- Incertus Nucleus (FAM.HT.TG.NI): Behavioural activation and the response to stress
- Ventral Tegmental Nucleus (LMC.HT.TG.VTG): moderates hippocampal-driven rhythmic firing frequency in medial mammillary
- Dorsal Tegmental Nucleus (LMC.HT.TG.DTG): accurate landmark navigation
- Laterodorsal Tegmental Nucleus (LMC.HT.TG.LDT): Modulating sustained attention or in mediating alerting responses
- Pedunculopontine Tegmental Nuclei (HT.TG.PPN): Provide sensory feedback to cerebral cortex; modulatory
- Rostromedial Tegmental Nucleus (FEC.HT.PPN.RMTG): locomotion - walking, running
- Interpeduncular Nucleus (FEC.HT.PPN.IPD): postural control, voluntary arm and eye movements
