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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Pulvinar (FD.PV) -> Oral Pulvinar (NPE.FD.TH.OPV) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Polymodal Execution Area
• Role: processor
• Function: Somatosensory functions
• Notes to function: Thalamus, connected with parietal cortex, anterior pulvinar
