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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Intralaminar and Midline Nuclei of Thalamus (BGA.FD.TH.IML) -> Midline Nuclear Group of Thalamus (FD.TH.MTH) -> Dorsal Midline Nuclear Group of Thalamus (FD.TH.MDT) -> Paratenial Nucleus of Thalamus (FAM.FD.TH.PT) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Affective Motivations Area
• Role: relay
• Function: Gateway for multimodal information to limbic system used in selecting appropriate responses
• Notes to function: Projects to BNST, AM, OMPFC, ET; Direct behavior toward a particular outcome over a range of outcomes
