This page covers biological details of component Rostral Interstitial Nucleus of MLF. 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) -> Supraoculomotor Area (VBA.MM.SOA) -> Rostral Interstitial Nucleus of MLF (LRC.MM.RIMLF) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area
• Role: subcortical.motor.flexor
• Function: Integration of head and eye movements, controls upward vertical gaze
