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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Sensory Thalamus (FD.TH.SR) -> Pulvinar (FD.PV) -> Lateral Pulvinar (NSA.FD.TH.LPV) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Sensory Aggregation Area
• Role: processor.thalamichigh
• Function: Ventral =What= Stream
• Notes to function:
  • Thalamus
