This page covers biological details of component Ventrolateral 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) -> Ventrolateral Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.LAVL) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Affective Motivations Area
• Role: relay
• Function: unconditional stimulus input - visual, auditory and somatic, convergence from thalamus
• Notes to function: LA1; LGN, MGBm, PIL
