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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Anterior Nucleus of Thalamus (FD.TH.AN) -> Anterodorsal Nucleus (FMM.FD.TH.AD) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Memory Management Area
• Role: processor
• Function: head direction, spatial learning and memory
