This page covers biological details of component Kolliker-Fuse Nucleus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Hindbrain Metencephalon -> Metencephalic Motor Nuclei (HT.MN) -> Kolliker-Fuse Nucleus (LRC.HT.KFN) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Quality: L0
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area (LRC)
• Area circuit: Breathing and Swallowing Reflexes (LRB)
• Role: subcortical.motor.flexor
• Function: Control of protruder tongue muscles contraction to maintain respiration
• Notes to function:
  • To hypoglossal nucleus and phrenic nucleus
  • pontine respiratory group = KFN + Medial PBN
