@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLRC -> BrainRegionLRC_MM_CJ
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 -> Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.REF) -> Visual Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.REF.VIS) -> Supraoculomotor Area (VBA.MM.SOA) -> Cajal Nucleus (LRC.MM.CJ) (see Mind Maps)
- Type: nucleus
- Brain area: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area
- Role: relay
- Function: Integration of head and eye movements, controls downward vertical gaze
- Notes to function: Projects to CN3, CN4 nuclei, rotation of body about its long axis, Project to vestibular nuclei
