Nucleus of Optic Tract

@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLRC -> BrainRegionLRC_MM_PT_NOT


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

  • Top-down path to region: Midbrain Mesencephalon -> Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.REF) -> Visual Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.REF.VIS) -> Pretectum (MM.PT) -> Nucleus of Optic Tract (LRC.MM.PT.NOT) (see Mind Maps)
  • Type: nucleus
  • Brain area: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area
  • Role: relay
  • Function: Encode retinal error information during smooth pursuit eye movements
  • Notes to function: Guide motor learning during horizontal SP; ipsilateral horizontal ocular pursuit
