This page covers biological details of component Medial Pulvinar. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Sensory Thalamus (FD.TH.SR) -> Pulvinar (FD.PV) -> Medial Pulvinar (NPE.FD.TH.MPV) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Quality: L0
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Unimodal Execution Area (NPE)
• Area circuit: Execution by Motion Inputs (NPS)
• Role: processor.thalamichigh
• Function: Integration of associative cortical information and projects to visuomotor-related cortex
• Notes to function:
  • CG, PMC, PFC connections
