@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaFMM -> BrainRegionFMM_FD_MB_MMB

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

Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Hypothalamus (HTA.FD.HT) -> Mammillary Body (FD.MB) -> Medial Mammillary Nucleus (FMM.FD.MB.MMB) (see Mind Maps)
Type: nucleus
Brain area: Forebrain - Memory Management Area
Role: relay
Function: Relay for impulses coming from AM and HC
Notes to function: Memory, recognition, spatial awareness, and interpreting the context of events
