Pedunculopontine nucleus area oscillations during stance, stepping and freezing in Parkinson's disease.

The pedunculopontine area (PPNa) including the pedunculopontine and cuneiform nuclei, belongs to the mesencephalic locomotor region. Little is known about the oscillatory mechanisms underlying the function of this region in postural and gait control. We examined the modulations of the oscillatory ac...
