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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Sensory Thalamus (FD.TH.SR) -> Posterior Thalamus (FD.TH.PTH) -> Limitans Nucleus of Thalamus (NCP.FD.TH.LI) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Conscious Personality Area
• Role: processor.automatic
• Function: Multisensory projection to striatum
• Notes to function: From SC, trigeminal nucleus, superior and inferior colliculus
