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

  * *Top-down path to region*: Hindbrain Myelencephalon -> [BrainCenterHL_SN Myelencephalic Sensory Nuclei] (HL.SN) -> Spinal Sensory Nuclei (HL.SS) -> Dorsal Column Nuclei (HL.SS.DCN) -> [BrainRegionLPC_HL_GR Gracile Nucleus] (LPC.HL.GR) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: nucleus
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaLPC Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area] (LPC)
  * *Area circuit*: Lower Body Conscious Sensations (SBL)
  * *Role*: sensory.nucleus
  * *Function*: Carry epicritic, kinesthetic, and conscious proprioceptive information from lower body
