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

• Top-down path to region: Midbrain Mesencephalon -> Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.REF) -> Auditory Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.REF.AUD) -> Inferior Colliculus (ABA.MM.IC) -> Central Nucleus of Inferior Colliculus (LPC.MM.CIC) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area
• Role: relay
• Function: Integrate and relay auditory information to cortex, detection of pitch, spatial localization by binaural hearing
