Identification of these well-defined regions in the midbrain (midbrain locomotor region or MLR) and the lateral hypothalamic area (subthalamic locomotor region, or SLR) was instrumental in the study of locomotion. It is interesting to note that these regions are not hierarchical in the sense that a lesion in the MLR does not abolish locomotion induced by stimulation of the SLR region. The stimulation used to elicit locomotion from these regions is generally electrical. The majority of the studies documenting the behavior of the animal following stimulation of these regions is carried out in a decerebrate preparation (structures rostral to the brainstem and the cerebellum removed).
