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

  * *Top-down path to region*: Hindbrain Metencephalon -> [BrainCenterHT_MN Metencephalic Motor Nuclei] (HT.MN) -> [BrainRegionLRC_HT_KFN Kolliker-Fuse Nucleus] (LRC.HT.KFN) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: nucleus
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaLRC Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area] (LRC)
  * *Area circuit*: Breathing and Swallowing Reflexes (LRB)
  * *Role*: subcortical.motor.flexor
  * *Function*: Control of protruder tongue muscles contraction to maintain respiration
  * *Notes to function*: 
   * To hypoglossal nucleus and phrenic nucleus
   *  pontine respiratory group = KFN + Medial PBN
