Resumen:
Carvalho et al. describe a brain circuit in rats that conveys information about locomotion speed from the brainstem to cortical structures implicated in navigation. Optogenetic activation of the brainstem´s pedunculopontine nucleus drives locomotion and modulates speed-modulated neurons in the diagonal band of Broca and the medial entorhinal cortex.
