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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Basal Ganglia (FEC.FT.BG) -> Globus Pallidus (FEC.FT.GP) -> Ventral Pallidum (FEC.FT.VP) -> Ventral Pallidum Ventromedial (FEC.FT.VP.VM) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Execution Control Area
• Role: relay
• Function: motivational loop, NAcc-shell
• Notes to function: projects to VTA, MD; circuit - VP-VM-medial, VMPFC, NAcc-medial-shell, MD-rostral-medial; circuit - VP-VM-lateral, VINS, NAcc-VL, MD-central
