Magnocellular red nucleus
Nucleus of the rostral midbrain involved in motor coordination / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the magnocellular red nucleus. For other uses, see Magnocellular.
The magnocellular red nucleus (mRN or mNR or RNm) is located in the rostral midbrain and is involved in motor coordination.[1][2] Together with the parvocellular red nucleus, the mRN makes up the red nucleus.[2] Due to the role it plays in motor coordination, the magnocellular red nucleus may be implicated in the characteristic symptom of restless legs syndrome (RLS).[3] The mRN receives most of its signals from the motor cortex and the cerebellum.[4][5]
