Evaluating the neural underpinnings of motivation for walking exercise

This study examines how motivational stimuli during walking exercise affect brain activity and walking speed, finding increased activity in the superior frontal gyrus medial area 9 (SFG9m) and faster walking speeds with additional motivation.

Mapping the human corticoreticular pathway with multimodal delineation of the gigantocellular reticular nucleus and high-resolution diffusion tractography

This paper maps the human corticoreticular pathway (CRP) using diffusion tractography and identifies its cortical origins, trajectory, and bilateral projections to the brainstem.

Mapping the corticoreticular pathway from cortex-wide anterograde axonal tracing in the mouse

This study maps the corticoreticular pathway in mice, showing its widespread cortical origins and strong bilateral projections compared to the corticospinal tract.
