This page covers biological details of component Medial Interstitial Anterior Commissural 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) -> Interstitial Anterior Commissural Nucleus (FAM.FT.IPAC) -> Medial Interstitial Anterior Commissural Nucleus (FAM.FT.IPAC.MED) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Quality: L0
• Brain area: Forebrain - Affective Motivations Area (FAM)
• Area circuit: Express Flight Emotions (FAMXEFL)
• Role: processor.affective.flight
• Function: Sharp, acute pain sensation
• Notes to function:
  • reciprocate its afferent connections, similar to medial part of central amygdaloid nucleus
  • projections to AM-Ce/BNST components, PB, and SOL originate chiefly from medial division
  • strong ACh projections from caudal IPACm to AM-BL-posterior and amygdalopiriform transition area
