@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLPC -> BrainRegionLPC_MM_MSTR
This page covers biological details of component Mesencephalic Trigeminal Nucleus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.
- Top-down path to region: Midbrain Mesencephalon -> Perhipheral Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.PER) -> Mesencephalic Trigeminal Nucleus (LPC.MM.MSTR) (see Mind Maps)
- Type: sensory ganglion
- Brain area: Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area
- Role: sensory
- Function: unconscious proprioception from muscle spindles; facial somatic sensations from muscles of mastication, monosynaptic masticatory reflex
- Notes to structure: sensory neurons of masticatory muscles, the teeth, the mandibular joint, the mandible, the maxilla and the intraocular muscles; most to motor trigeminal, few - to principal trigeminal
- Notes to function: Lower, mandibular - ganglion; mandible and maxilla - tooth pulp, surrounding gingiva, periodontal membrane and a vast portion of the oral mucosa
