    The direct and indirect pathways are circuits heavily involved in the regulation of movement. The direct pathway is thought to decrease inhibitory basal ganglia output (coming from the GPi/SNpr nuclei)‚ whereas the indirect pathway increases inhibitory basal ganglia output. Therefore one would expect the direct pathway to increase motor activity and movement and the indirect pathway to inhibit it. So‚ when the direct pathway is activated‚ cells in the striatum make inhibitory connections with cells

    Reticulospinal Tract The reticulospinal tract is a motor pathway that originates from the reticular formation‚ primarily in the pons and medulla‚ and synapses in the spinal cord. In the reticular formation‚ the reticulospinal tract surfaces from the pontine caudal reticular nucleus and gigantocellular reticular nucleus. The reticulospinal tract is responsible for postural control and autonomic function like initiation of locomotion via innervation of motor neurons into the trunk and proximal limb
