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

• Top-down path to region: Hindbrain Myelencephalon -> Medullary Reticular Formation (HL.RF) -> Medullary Reticular Formation, Medial Column (HL.RF.MED) -> Gigantocellular Reticular Nucleus (LRC.HL.PRF.GCR) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area
• Role: subcortical.motor.flexor
• Function: Vasodepressor center
• Notes to function: Projects to hypoglossal nucleus, abducens; medullary (lateral) reticulospinal tract; excite trunk flexors, inhibit extensors; stimulation induces inspiration
