This page covers biological details of component Nucleus of Optic Tract. 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) -> Pretectum (MM.PT) -> Nucleus of Optic Tract (LRC.MM.PT.NOT) (see Mind Maps)
  • Type: nucleus
  • Quality: L0
  • Brain area: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area (LRC)
  • Area circuit: Direct Visual Reflexes (LRV)
  • Role: processor.automatic
  • Function: Encode retinal error information during smooth pursuit eye movements
  • Notes to function:
    • Guide motor learning during horizontal SP
    • ipsilateral horizontal ocular pursuit
