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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Posterior Thalamus (FD.TH.PTH) -> Suprageniculate Nucleus of Thalamus (NSA.FD.TH.SG) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Sensory Aggregation Area
• Role: processor
• Function: Spatial coding of auditory information
• Notes to function: From tectum, somatic sensations
