This page covers biological details of component Central Amygdaloid Nucleus, lateral subdivision. 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) -> Central Amygdala (FAM.FT.AM.CEA) -> Central Amygdaloid Nucleus, lateral subdivision (FAM.FT.AM.CEL) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Affective Motivations Area
• Role: processor.affective
• Function: mediate behavioral responses, link to gustatory and visceral aspects of reinforcement
• Notes to function: contributions of food prediction and food presentation
