This page covers biological details of component Anterior Pretectum 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) -> Pretectum (MM.PT) -> Anterior Pretectum Nucleus (LRC.MM.PT.PTA) (see Mind Maps)
• *Type*: nucleus
• *Brain area*: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area
• *Role*: relay
• *Function*: Mediate somatosensory and nociceptive information
• *Notes to function*: 3 parallel flows from MC, anterior interpositus nucleus of TH, GR to dorsal accessory IO
