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) -> Pulvinar (FD.PV) -> Medial Pulvinar (NPE.FD.TH.MPV) (see Mind Maps)
Type: nucleus
Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Polymodal Execution Area
Role: relay
Function: Integration of associative cortical information and projects to visuomotor-related cortex
Notes to function: CG, PMC, PFC connections
