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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Ventral Thalamus (FD.TH.VTH) -> Ventral Anterior Nucleus (NMA.FD.TH.VA) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Motor Aggregation Area
• Role: processor
• Function: Relay BGA.SN, BGA.GPI, FCA.OMPFC, FCA.CG to MCA.PMC, MCA.SMC
• Notes to function: Cognitive motor
