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 -> [[BrainCenterMM_REF|Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon]] (MM.REF) -> Visual Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.REF.VIS) -> Supraoculomotor Area (VBA.MM.SOA) -> [[BrainRegionLRC_MM_CJ|Cajal Nucleus]] (LRC.MM.CJ) (see [[OverallMindMaps|Mind Maps]])
* '''Type''': nucleus
* '''Quality''': L0
* '''Brain area''': [[BrainAreaLRC|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
