@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLPC -> BrainRegionLPC_MM_OCN

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

Top-down path to region: Midbrain Mesencephalon -> Perhipheral Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.PER) -> Oculomotor Nucleus (LPC.MM.OCN) (see Mind Maps)
Type: nucleus
Brain area: Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area
Role: relay
Function: Change Eye Direction
Notes to function: Muscle nucleus
