This page covers biological details of component Intermediate Superior Colliculus. 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) -> Superior Colliculus (MM.SC) -> Intermediate Superior Colliculus (LRC.MM.SC.INT) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area
• Role: relay
• Function: Sensimotor integration for orienting
• Notes to function: Receive GABA from SNpr to gate integration
