This page covers biological details of component Sublentiform 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) -> Sublentiform Nucleus (LRC.MM.PT.SL) (see Mind Maps)
- Type: nucleus
- Quality: L0
- Brain area: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area (LRC)
- Area circuit: Direct Visual Reflexes (LRV)
- Role: processor.automatic
- Function: Accomodation reflex
- Comments: Posterior pretectal nucleus
- Notes to function:
- Combines visual cortex and retinal input to project to OCN, receives retinal input
