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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Extended Amygdala (FAM.FT.EXTAM) -> Central Extended Amygdala (FAM.FT.CEAM) -> Endopiriform Nucleus (FAM.FT.EPF) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Affective Motivations Area
• Role: relay
• Function: Putative relay of limbic-associated cortical-like areas subserving affective information
