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

  * *Top-down path to region*: Spinal Cord -> [BrainCenterBMA_SC_PH Posterior/Dorsal Horn] (BMA.SC.PH) -> Lamina I (LPC.SC.PH.L1) -> Marginal Nucleus (LPC.SC.PH.MG) -> [BrainRegionLPC_SC_PH_LMG Lower Marginal Nucleus] (LPC.SC.PH.LMG) (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*: Relay information related to pain and temperature sensation - T7-T12,L1-L5,S1-S5,CX
