@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLRC -> BrainRegionLRC_MM_SC_INT

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: processor.automatic
Function: Sensimotor integration for orienting
Notes to function: Receive GABA from SNpr to gate integration
