Lateral Geniculate Nucleus

@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaNSA -> BrainRegionNSA_FD_LGN


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

  • Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (NSA.FD.LGN) (see Mind Maps)
  • Type: nucleus
  • Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Sensory Aggregation Area
  • Role: relay
  • Function: Temporal decorrelation
  • Notes to function: Only 10% of inputs to LGN come from the retina. 90% are modulatory inputs from cortex and the brainstem
