Component group is part of aHuman target integrated biological model. * *Top-down path to center*: Hindbrain Myelencephalon -> Myelencephalic Sensory Nuclei (HL.SN) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps]) * *Function*: (generated) = Components = (generated) *Component items*: * *Cochlear Nucleus* (LPC.HL.COCH): Divergence in representation of auditory information * [BrainRegionLPC_HL_DCOCH Dorsal Cochlear Nucleus] (LPC.HL.DCOCH): Analyzes quality of sound, picks apart tiny frequency differences between close sounds * [BrainRegionLPC_HL_VCOCH Ventral Cochlear Nucleus] (LPC.HL.VCOCH): determine direction sound came from, time-sensitive localization * *Trigeminal Sensory Nuclei* (HL.TGS) * [BrainRegionLPC_HL_TGS_STR Spinal Trigeminal Nucleus] (LPC.HL.TGS.STR): Discriminative sensation and light touch of face, conscious proprioception * [BrainRegionLRC_HL_TGS_PA5 Paratrigeminal Nucleus] (LRC.HL.TGS.PA5): Orofacial nociceptive sensory processing * [BrainRegionLAC_HL_TGS_PE5 Peritrigeminal Nucleus] (LAC.HL.TGS.PE5): Thermoregulation * *Spinal Sensory Nuclei* (HL.SS) * *Dorsal Column Nuclei* (HL.SS.DCN) * [BrainRegionLPC_HL_CU Cuneate Nucleus] (LPC.HL.CU): Carry fine touch and proprioceptive information from upper body * [BrainRegionLPC_HL_GR Gracile Nucleus] (LPC.HL.GR): Carry epicritic, kinesthetic, and conscious proprioceptive information from lower body * [BrainRegionLPC_HL_ACU Accessory Cuneate Nucleus] (LPC.HL.ACU): receives input from cervical spinal nerves and transmits that information to cerebellum * [BrainRegionLLC_HL_IO Inferior Olivary Nucleus] (LLC.HL.IO): Proprioception Relay from Spinal Cord to Cerebellum * [BrainRegionLPC_HL_SOL Solitary Nucleus] (LPC.HL.SOL): Carry taste buds, thoracic and abdominal viscera *
