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

• Top-down path to region: Midbrain Mesencephalon -> Perhipheral Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.PER) -> Trochlear Nucleus (LPC.MM.TRH) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area
• Role: relay
• Function: Control superior oblique muscles of eyes
• Notes to function: Muscle nucleus, change eye direction
