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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Hypothalamus (FD.HT) -> Anterior Hypothalamus Area (LAC.FD.HT.AHT) -> Chiasmatic Area (LAC.FD.HT.CHS) -> Supraoptic Nucleus (LAC.FD.HT.SO) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Quality: L0
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area (LAC)
• Area circuit: Autonomic Motivations Control (LAM)
• Role: processor.autonomic
• Function: Blood volume or blood pressure, vasopressin release
