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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Basal Ganglia (BGA.FT.BG) -> Striatum (BGA.FT.ST) -> Dorsal Striatum (BGA.FT.DST) -> Caudate Nucleus (BGA.FT.CN) -> Caudate Nucleus Tail (FEC.FT.CN.TL) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Execution Control Area
• Role: relay
• Function: Successful classification learning, correct categorization
• Notes to function: ITC, STC
