Deep brain stimulation of the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) has been reported to improve gait disturbance in animal models of Parkinsonism and among patients with Parkinson’s disease. Evidence suggests that neurons in the PPTg are involved in the control of the sympathetic outflow to the kidneys, and sympathetic regulation is a major component of central melanocortin action. Our recent...
To determine the spinal innervation and neuronal connections is important for studying renal metabolic responses. In this study, the spinal cords of 10 adult male C57BL/6J strain mice were mapped retrograde using injections of pseudorabies virus (PRV)-614. The virus, injected into the kidney, was specifically transported to the spinal cord. At 5 days after injection of the PRV-614, PRV-614–positive...
Deep brain stimulation of the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) had usually been reported to improve the symptoms of advanced Parkinson’s disease. Previous studies showed that neurons in the PPTg involved in the control of the sympathetic outflow to the kidneys. Our recent studies using transneuronal labeling pseudorabies virus (PRV)-614 supported the sympathetic nature of the caudal PPTg...
