The cuneiform nucleus (CUN) is a midbrain structure located laterally to the caudal part of the periaqueductal gray matter. Hodological studies show that CUN is part of the neural system that integrates anti-predatory defense responses. Importantly, CUN has both glutamatergic and gabaergic cell bodies. Preliminary findings from our laboratory have shown that optogenetic stimulation of bot…
Preliminary observations from our laboratory have shown that the dorsal part of the periaqueductal gray matter (dPAG) receives several sources from GABAergic projection, such as the rostral zona incerta and the cuneiform nucleus, which could be involved in inhibiting responses to threatening stimuli in order to facilitate other behaviors, especially predatory hunting. In this sense, we pr…
Neonatal anoxia is the oxygen deprivation at birth , being one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in neonates, corresponding to 23% of death worldwide. One of the most vulnerable structures to oxygen deprivation is the hippocampus, which has high metabolic demand and high plasticity capacity. As result of neonatal anoxia, there is a memory and learning deficit that remai…

The cuneiform nucleus (CUN) has traditionally been associated with locomotor activity, and many studies have considered the CUN to be part of the locomotion system. As a result, this structure has been viewed as a potential target for deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, recent studies have shown that the CUN has strong bidirectional connections with the dorsolater…
Anoxia is one of the most prevalent causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality, especially in preterm neonates, constituting an important public health concern due to the permanent neurological sequelae observed in patients. Oxygen deprivation triggers a series of simultaneous cascades, culminating in cell death mainly located in more vulnerable metabolic brain regions, such as the hippoc…
