----
This page covers biological details of component Spinal Trigeminal Nucleus.
Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.
* *Top-down path to region*: Hindbrain Myelencephalon -> [BrainCenterHL_SN Myelencephalic Sensory Nuclei] (HL.SN) -> Trigeminal Sensory Nuclei (HL.TGS) -> [BrainRegionLPC_HL_TGS_STR Spinal Trigeminal Nucleus] (LPC.HL.TGS.STR) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
* *Type*: nucleus
* *Quality*: L0
* *Brain area*: [BrainAreaLPC Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area] (LPC)
* *Area circuit*: Sensory Face (SF)
* *Role*: sensory.nucleus
* *Function*: Discriminative sensation and light touch of face, conscious proprioception
* *Notes to function*:
* Pontine Nuclei, part of cranial nerve nuclei, ear, similar to SG of spinal cord
