Abstract
In this article, I review a series of my experiments on the role of the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (Ppn) in voluntary movements. I sought to elucidate the functional role of the Ppn in the control of voluntary movements using macaque monkeys. I propose a functional model of basal ganglia circuitry in which I emphasize the role of the Ppn and discuss the underlying mechanisms of parkinsonism.Entities:
