@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLRC -> BrainRegionLRC_MM_SC_DEEP

This page covers biological details of component Deep 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) -> Deep Superior Colliculus (LRC.MM.SC.DEEP) (see Mind Maps)
• *Type*: nucleus
• *Brain area*: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area
• *Role*: relay
• *Function*: Head and eye attention to non-visual stimuli
• *Notes to function*: Receive many types of input and project to numerous motor-related brain areas
