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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Basal Ganglia (FEC.FT.BG) -> Striatum (FEC.FT.ST) -> Dorsal Striatum (FEC.FT.DST) -> Caudate Nucleus (FEC.FT.CN) -> Caudate Nucleus Head (FEC.FT.CN.HD) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Execution Control Area
• Role: basal.ganglia.striatum
• Function: Feedback processing, result of incorrect categorization
• Notes to function: LPFC, BA 9
