This page covers biological details of component Cajal Nucleus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

  • Top-down path to region: Midbrain Mesencephalon -> Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.REF) -> Visual Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.REF.VIS) -> Supraoculomotor Area (VBA.MM.SOA) -> Cajal Nucleus (LRC.MM.CJ) (see Mind Maps)
  • Type: nucleus
  • Quality: L0
  • Brain area: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area (LRC)
  • Area circuit: Frontal Visual Reflexes (LRF)
  • Role: subcortical.motor.flexor
  • Function: Integration of head and eye movements, controls downward vertical gaze
  • Comments: Relay of extrapyramidal control for automatic movements
  • Notes to function:
    • Projects to CN3, CN4 nuclei, rotation of body about its long axis, Project to vestibular nuclei
