This page covers biological details of component Darkschewitsch 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) -> Supraoculomotor Area (VBA.MM.SOA) -> Darkschewitsch Nucleus (LRC.MM.DSCH) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area
• Role: processor.automatic
• Function: Mediate the consensual pupillary light reflex
• Notes to function: Light in one eye results in pupil changes in another eye
