@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLAC -> BrainRegionLAC_FD_HT_PN

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

• *Top-down path to region*: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Hypothalamus (HTA.FD.HT) -> Posterior Hypothalamic Area (HTA.FD.HT.POS) -> Posterior Hypothalamic Nucleus (LAC.FD.HT.PN) (see Mind Maps)
• *Type*: nucleus
• *Brain area*: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area
• *Role*: relay
• *Function*: Blood pressure, pupillary dilation
