Scientists have identified a group of nerve cells in the midbrain, which, when stimulated, can suspend all movement, akin to setting a film on pause. These nerve cells, located in the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) and differentiated by a marker called Chx10, even affect breathing and heart rate in mice.
