The head area of the body seems from these areas to have the largest representation in the zona incerta.

H1 is separated from H2 by the zona incerta.

This is sometimes called the motor part of the zona incerta nucleus.

The zona incerta also receives input from these areas.

There are projections from the zona incerta back to the cerebral cortex.

Less controversially, Forel first described in 1877 the zona incerta area in the brain.

Zona incerta controls such activities as water and food intake, sexuality and cardiovascular activity.

The zona incerta.

The zona incerta is a horizontally elongated region of gray matter cells in the subthalamus below the thalamus.

Electrical or chemical stimulation of the zona incerta creates limbic-related movements, such as those associated with defense orientation and copulation.

Other connections include the claustrum, the dorsolateral caudate nucleus, putamen, and the zona incerta.

MCH expressing neurons are located within the lateral hypothalamus and zona incerta.

In the mouse, A13 is located ventral to the mammillothalamic tract of the thalamus in the zona incerta.

The zona incerta together with the hypothalamus is one of the two areas of the brain that produces the neuropeptide melanin concentrating hormone.

This is most strong when cholinergic input to the zona incerta is reduced as during slow-wave sleep and during anesthesia.

In humans with Parkinsons Disease, surgical lesion of the zona incerta alleviates their parkinsonian motor symptoms.

Two of these regions that the APN is known to project to are the zona incerta and posterior thalamic nucleus.

This is the area targeted by deep brain stimulation area when the zona incerta is targeted in the treatment of Parkinson Disease.

The zona incerta has connections to the cerebral cortex, diencephalon, basal ganglia, brainstem and spinal cord.

Cerebral cortex Projections to the zona incerta arise across the cortical mantel from the frontal to the occipital lobes.

Recent research suggests that the development and maintenance of such pain could link to abnormal inhibitory regulation by the zona incerta of the posterior thalamus.

Other nuclei of the subthalamus are the zona incerta, thalamic reticular nucleus, and the fields of Forel.

In this occurs a zona incerta mediated inhibition of thalamic nuclei such the somatosensory posterior medial thalamus.

The subthalamic area (zona incerta) seems to contain action-generating systems for several types of "consummatory" behaviors, including eating, drinking, defecation, and copulation.

In monkeys for example neuronal activity in the zona incerta "pauses" before the start of a saccade and resumes at the end of a saccade.
