@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaFAM -> BrainRegionFAM_FT_AM_MPV

This page covers biological details of component Medial Posterior Ventral 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) -> Corticomedial Nuclear Complex (FAM.FT.AM.CTM) -> Centromedial Nuclei (FAM.FT.AM.CM) -> Medial Amygdala (FAM.FT.AM.M) -> Medial Posterior Ventral Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.MPV) (see Mind Maps)
Type: nucleus
Brain area: Forebrain - Affective Motivations Area
Role: relay
Function: defensive behavior
Notes to function: MePV -> LAC.FD.HT.VM (reproductive+defensive), LAC.FD.HT.AH (defensive)
