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

• Top-down path to region: Midbrain Mesencephalon -> Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.REF) (MM.REF) -> Visual Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.REF.VIS) -> Pretectum (MM.PT) -> Sublentiform Nucleus (LRC.MM.PT.SL) (LRC.MM.PT.SL) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area
• Role: relay
• Function: Accomodation reflex
• Notes to function: Combines visual cortex and retinal input to project to OCN, receives retinal input
