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
