Medial cerebellar nuclear projections and activity patterns link cerebellar output to orofacial and respiratory behavior

Medial cerebellar nuclear projections and activity patterns link cerebellar output to orofacial and respiratory behavior

There is ample evidence that the cerebellum plays an important role in coordinating both respiratory and orofacial movements. However, the pathway by which the cerebellum engages brainstem substrates underlying these movements is not well understood. We used tract-tracing techniques in mice to show...
