Abstract
The subthalamic nucleus (STN) has an important role in locomotion, as evidenced by the successful use of high-frequency stimulation of this structure as treatment for Parkinson disease. There is considerable uncertainty, however, regarding the mechanism through which this effect is achieved. We identified a promoter diversity within this nucleus and observed a movement phenotype displayed as decreased latency in initiation of movement and increased locomotion in both horizontal and vertical planes as a consequence of blunting, but not eliminating, expression of

<abstract><p>The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a key area of the basal ganglia circuitry regulating movement. We identified a subpopulation of neurons within this structure that coexpresses <italic>Vglut2</italic>
and <italic>Pitx2</italic>
, and by conditional targeting of this subpopulation we reduced <italic>Vglut2</italic>
expression levels in the STN by 40%, leaving <italic>Pitx2</italic>
expression intact. This reduction diminished, yet did not eliminate, glutamatergic transmission in the substantia nigra pars reticulata and entopeduncular nucleus, two major targets of the STN. The knockout mice displayed hyperlocomotion and decreased latency in the initiation of movement while preserving normal gait and balance. Spatial cognition, social function, and level of impulsive choice also remained undisturbed. Furthermore, these mice showed reduced dopamine transporter binding and slower dopamine clearance in vivo, suggesting that <italic>Vglut2</italic>
-expressing cells in the STN regulate dopaminergic transmission. Our results demonstrate that altering the contribution of a limited population within the STN is sufficient to achieve results similar to STN lesions and high-frequency stimulation, but with fewer side effects.</p>
