---

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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Extended Amygdala (FAM.FT.EXTAM) -> Amygdala (FAM.FT.AM) -> Basolateral Nuclear Complex (FAM.FT.AM.BL) -> Lateral Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.LA) -> Dorsolateral Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.LADL) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Affective Motivations Area
• Role: processor.affective
• Function: conditional stimulus input - high-aggregated visual, auditory and somatic, patterns of perception
• Notes to function:
  • LA2
