This page covers biological details of component Cajal 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) -> Supraoculomotor Area (VBA.MM.SOA) -> Cajal Nucleus (LRC.MM.CJ) (see Mind Maps)
- Type: nucleus
- Quality: L0
- Brain area: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area (LRC)
- Area circuit: Frontal Visual Reflexes (LRF)
- Role: subcortical.motor.flexor
- Function: Integration of head and eye movements, controls downward vertical gaze
- Comments: Relay of extrapyramidal control for automatic movements
- Notes to function:
- Projects to CN3, CN4 nuclei, rotation of body about its long axis, Project to vestibular nuclei
