----

This page covers biological details of component Upper Substantia Gelatinosa.
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 II (LPC.SC.PH.L2) -> Substantia Gelatinosa (LPC.SC.PH.SG) -> [BrainRegionLPC_SC_PH_USG Upper Substantia Gelatinosa] (LPC.SC.PH.USG) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: nucleus
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaLPC Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area] (LPC)
  * *Area circuit*: Upper Body Conscious Sensations (SBU)
  * *Role*: sensory.nucleus
  * *Function*: Relay for C-fibers of slowly conducting, poorly localized pain sensation - C1-C8,T1-T6
