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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Cognitive Thalamus (FD.TH.CR) -> Intralaminar and Midline Nuclei of Thalamus (FD.TH.IML) -> Midline Nuclear Group of Thalamus (FD.TH.MTH) -> Dorsal Midline Nuclear Group of Thalamus (FD.TH.MDT) -> Paraventricular Nucleus of Thalamus (NDM.FD.TH.PV) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Decision Making Area
• Role: processor.affective
• Function: Direct behavior toward a particular outcome over a range of outcomes
• Notes to function: Projects like PT, but more to BNST, AM
