----

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

  * *Top-down path to region*: Hindbrain Myelencephalon -> [BrainCenterHL_SN Myelencephalic Sensory Nuclei] (HL.SN) -> Cochlear Nucleus (LPC.HL.COCH) -> [BrainRegionLPC_HL_DCOCH Dorsal Cochlear Nucleus] (LPC.HL.DCOCH) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: nucleus
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaLPC Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area] (LPC)
  * *Area circuit*: Auditory Sense (SA)
  * *Role*: sensory.nucleus
  * *Function*: Analyzes quality of sound, picks apart tiny frequency differences between close sounds
