The anterior and posterior pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus are involved in behavior and neuronal activity of the cuneiform and entopeduncular nuclei

Highlights • Lesion of anterior PPTg increased firing activity in the cuneiform nucleus. • PPTg lesion decreased alpha coherence synchronization in the cuneiform nucleus. • PPTg lesion increased beta coherence synchronization in entopeduncular nucleus.
