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: processor.automatic
• Function: Mediate somatosensory and nociceptive information
• Notes to function: 3 parallel flows from MC, anterior interpositus nucleus of TH, GR to dorsal accessory IO
