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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Basal Ganglia (FEC.FT.BG) -> Striatum (FEC.FT.ST) -> Ventral Striatum (FEC.FT.VST) -> Ventral Putamen (FEC.FT.PU.VT) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Execution Control Area
• Role: basal.ganglia.pallidum
• Function: Evaluation of flavors, taste, motivation loop
