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

• *Top-down path to region*: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (NSA.FD.LGN) (see Mind Maps)
• *Type*: nucleus
• *Brain area*: Neocortical Brain - Sensory Aggregation Area
• *Role*: relay
• *Function*: Temporal decorrelation
• *Notes to function*: Only 10% of inputs to LGN come from the retina. 90% are modulatory inputs from cortex and the brainstem
