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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Cognitive Thalamus (FD.TH.CR) -> Mediodorsal Nucleus of Thalamus (FD.TH.MD) -> Central Mediodorsal Nucleus of Thalamus (NCP.FD.TH.MDC) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Conscious Personality Area
• Role: processor.thalamichigh
• Function: relay olfactory neocortex to insular integrated neocortex
• Notes to function:
  • Relay piriform cortex (BA34) to AIC (BA14)
