This page covers biological details of component Nuclei of Lateral Lemniscus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Hindbrain Metencephalon -> Metencephalic Sensory Nuclei (HT.SN) -> Pontine Nuclear Complex (HT.PN) -> Nuclei of Lateral Lemniscus (LPC.HT.PN.LL) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area
• Role: relay
• Function: Decoding of amplitude modulated sounds
• Notes to function: Prominent columnar organization, cochlea to IC
