Ventral Anterior Nucleus

@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaNMA -> BrainRegionNMA_FD_TH_VA

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

• *Top-down path to region*: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Ventral Thalamus (FD.TH.VTH) -> Ventral Anterior Nucleus (NMA.FD.TH.VA) (see Mind Maps)
• *Type*: nucleus
• *Brain area*: Neocortical Brain - Motor Aggregation Area
• *Role*: processor
• *Function*: Relay BGA.SN, BGA.GPI, FCA.OMPFC, FCA.CG to MCA.PMC, MCA.SMC
• *Notes to function*: Cognitive motor
