Pretectal Olivary Nucleus

@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLRC -> BrainRegionLRC_MM_PT_PON


This page covers biological details of component Pretectal Olivary Nucleus. 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) -> Pretectal Olivary Nucleus (LRC.MM.PT.PON) (see Mind Maps)
  • *Type*: nucleus
  • *Brain area*: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area
  • *Role*: relay
  • *Function*: Pupillary light reflex and modulating subcortical nuclei involved in circadian rhythms
  • *Notes to function*: Primary visual centre, involved in the pupillary light reflex, receives retinal input
