@@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
