… has been described, but the role of descending cortical signals in patterning ZI activity is
unknown. Cortical control over ZI function was examined during slow cortical waves (1–3 Hz), …

… zona incerta (ZI) is involved in mediating survival behaviors and is connected to a wide range
of cortical … between top-down and bottom-up control and a possible target for deep brain …

… Thus cortical influences on PO are unlikely to be affected by suppression of ZI input to the
cortex. Superior colliculus, and other structures inhibited by ZI/APT, provide relatively sparse …

… The neonatal rodent brain has an excitatory GABAergic plexus projecting widely within
cortical layer 1 (13, 14). Here, we show that the zona incerta (ZI) generates the neurons of this …

… The zona incerta (ZI), first described over a century ago by Auguste Forel as a “region of …
Cortical projections to the ZI have been shown to arise from most areas of cortex, from frontal to …

… However, when we suppressed inhibitory inputs from the subthalamic nucleus zona incerta
(… peripheral and cortical inputs, and the second population responds only to cortical inputs. …

… cortical areas project to the zona incerta equally, with some areas having stronger projections
to this nucleus than others. From our CTB injections into the zona incerta … the zona incerta, …

… for a role of the zona incerta (ZI) in specific … of cortical and subcortical areas, with some
significant homology to the rodents. Cortical areas that project to the ZI include motor control and …

… Motor cortex stimulation (MCS) has been used to reduce neuropathic pain through the
incertothalamic pathway, including the primary motor cortex (M1) and the zona incerta (ZI). …

We have previously shown that the GABAergic nucleus zona incerta (ZI) suppresses
vibrissae-evoked responses in the posterior medial (POm) thalamus of the rodent somatosensory …
