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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Motor Thalamus (FD.TH.MR) -> Lateral Thalamus (FD.TH.LTH) -> Lateral Posterior Nucleus of Thalamus (NPE.FD.TH.LP) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Unimodal Execution Area
• Role: processor.thalamichigh
• Function: Visual association cortex
• Notes to function: From superior colliculus, pretectum
