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

• Top-down path to region: Hindbrain Myelencephalon -> Myelencephalic Sensory Nuclei (HL.SN) -> Cochlear Nucleus (LPC.HL.COCH) -> Dorsal Cochlear Nucleus (LPC.HL.DCOCH) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area
• Role: sensory.nucleus
• Function: Analyzes quality of sound, picks apart tiny frequency differences between close sounds
