@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLAC -> BrainRegionLAC_MM_EWN


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

  • Top-down path to region: Midbrain Mesencephalon -> Perhipheral Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.PER) -> Edinger-Westphal Nucleus (LAC.MM.EWN) (see Mind Maps)
  • Type: nucleus
  • Brain area: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area
  • Role: parasympathetic
  • Function: Change Eye Pupil
  • Notes to function: Parasympathetic nucleus, parvocellular extention of OCN
