The preparations, stained according to the Nissl and Klüver-Barrera methods, were used to describe the topography and morphology of the red nucleus (RN) as well as the structure of the rubral perikarya in newborn (P0) guinea pigs. The... more
Object The localization of any given target in the brain has become a challenging issue because of the increased use of deep brain stimulation to treat Parkinson disease, dystonia, and nonmotor diseases (for example, Tourette syndrome,... more
The electrical activity of single units located in the parvicellular part of the red nucleus (pRP) was recorded extracellularly in nitrous oxide anesthetized and C1-transected adult cats. In this area, neurons were found to respond to... more
Introduction. Aqueductus mesencephali is the biggest part of the ventricular system and that is why it is the most common place of intraventricular obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid. This study was done in order to study topographic... more
Neurotransmitter abnormalities in the basal ganglia of individual "choreic" patients (9 cases of Huntington's disease-HD and 3 cases of dentatorubropallidoluysian atrophy-DRPLA) and 14 normal controls were... more
Two hundred and forty-eight patients from 116 Italian families with dominant ataxia were studied for CAG expansion within SCA1, 2, 3, 6, 7 (spinocerebellar ataxia) and DRPLA (dentatorubropallidoluysian atrophy) genes. Fifty-six percent of... more
We measured the effective synaptic currents (IN) produced by stimulating the contralateral pyramidal tract (PT) in triceps surae motoneurons of the cat. This is an oligosynaptic pathway in the cat that generates both excitation and... more

Magnocellular red nucleus (RNm) is involved in controlling goal-directed limb movements such as reaching to grasp. We tested two hypotheses related to RNm's role in controlling reach-to-grasp movements. One hypothesis is that forelimb... more
In this study, we aimed to determine the presence as well as the diverse distribution of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA glutamate receptor subunits in the rat red nucleus. Using adult Sprague-Dawley rats as the experimental... more
Radioligand binding and behavioral studies were conducted to determine whether a relationship existed between the motor effects produced by (+)-pentazocine and its binding to sigma sites. Scatchard analyses revealed decreased... more
The monoclonal antibody Py was previously developed as a tool for the identification of subpopulations of hippocampal neurons. Here, the differential distribution of Py immunoreactivity in the mid-brain is described showing that Py also... more
The red nucleus (RN) is a pair of small gray matter structures located in the midbrain and involved in muscle movement and cognitive functions. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the metabolism of human RN and its correlation... more
The corticospinal and the rubrospinal tracts are thought to synergistically contribute to the limb control during motor development. Williams et al. ( J Neurosci 34: 4432–4441, 2014) demonstrate that the postnatal maturation of red... more
Conscious, anaesthetized and decerebrate young mammals respond to acute hypoxia with an initial increase in breathing followed by a fall to, or to below, pre-hypoxic levels--the biphasic ventilatory response. The ventilatory rise is due... more
