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

• Top-down path to region: Hindbrain Metencephalon -> Pontine Reticular Formation (HT.RF) -> Pontine Reticular Formation, Lateral Column (HT.RF.LAT) -> Pontine Reticulotegmental Nucleus (LLC.HT.PRF.RTMG) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Locomotion Control Area
• Role: processor.automatic
• Function: Mediate saccadic eye movements
• Notes to function: Inactivation leads to deficit of expression, but not learning
