Gigantocellular reticular nucleus
（重定向自Nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis）
The gigantocellular nucleus, as the name indicates, is mainly composed of the so-called giant neuronal cells.
This nucleus has been known to innervate the caudal hypoglossal nucleus, and responds to glutamateric stimuli.
The gigantocellular nucleus excites the hypoglossal nucleus, and can play a role in the actions of the said nerve.
