The PMC makes connections with other brain centers to control micturition, including the medial frontal cortex, insular cortex, hypothalamus and periaqueductal gray (PAG). The PAG in particular acts a relay station for ascending bladder information from the spinal cord and incoming signals from higher brain areas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontine_micturition_center) nlx_144457 Barrington's nucleus 2012-05-30T00:00:00 Regional part of brain pontine micturition center Regional part of brain Synonym SuperCategory Mammal Species ModifiedDate Label Pons Is part of Id Definition CurationStatus Periaqueductal gray AfferentProjections
