@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaNDM -> BrainRegionNDM_FD_TH_MDM

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

Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Mediodorsal Nucleus of Thalamus (FCA.FD.TH.MD) -> Medial Mediodorsal Nucleus of Thalamus (NDM.FD.TH.MDM) (see Mind Maps)
Type: nucleus
Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Decision Making Area
Role: processor
Function: relay emotional attention to orbitofrontal cortex
Notes to function: orbitofrontal cortex (BA12,13) defined by MDm projection; relay AM-Bp to OFC; OFCm - subjective pleasantness, OFCl - subjective unpleasantness
