----
This page covers biological details of component Cajal Nucleus.
Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.
* *Top-down path to region*: Midbrain Mesencephalon -> [BrainCenterMM_REF Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon] (MM.REF) -> Visual Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.REF.VIS) -> Supraoculomotor Area (VBA.MM.SOA) -> [BrainRegionLRC_MM_CJ Cajal Nucleus] (LRC.MM.CJ) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
* *Type*: nucleus
* *Quality*: L0
* *Brain area*: [BrainAreaLRC Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area] (LRC)
* *Area circuit*: Frontal Visual Reflexes (LRF)
* *Role*: subcortical.motor.flexor
* *Function*: Integration of head and eye movements, controls downward vertical gaze
* *Comments*: Relay of extrapyramidal control for automatic movements
* *Notes to function*:
* Projects to CN3, CN4 nuclei, rotation of body about its long axis, Project to vestibular nuclei
