----

This page covers biological details of component Basilar Pontine Nuclei.
Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

  * *Top-down path to region*: Hindbrain Metencephalon -> [BrainCenterLLC_HT_CRC Cerebellar Complex] (LLC.HT.CRC) -> [BrainRegionLLC_HT_BPN Basilar Pontine Nuclei] (LLC.HT.BPN) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: nucleus
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaLLC Lower Brain - Locomotion Control Area] (LLC)
  * *Area circuit*: Cerebrocerebellar Locomotion (LLC)
  * *Role*: processor.autonomic
  * *Function*: convey information from motor cortex to cerebellum regarding intended movements of contralateral arm and leg
  * *Notes to function*: 
   * receive neocortical input and give rise to many axons that cross the midline to enter the contralateral cerebellum
