This page covers biological details of component Superficial Superior Colliculus.
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) -> Superior Colliculus (MM.SC) -> Superficial Superior Colliculus (LRC.MM.SC.SUP) (see [[OverallMindMaps|Mind Maps]])
* '''Type''': nucleus
* '''Brain area''': [[BrainAreaLRC|Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area]]
* '''Role''': relay
* '''Function''': Head and eye attention to visual stimuli
* '''Notes to function''': Receive input primarily from the visual system and show primarily visual responses
