Bed Nucleus of Stria Terminalis

@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaFAM -> BrainRegionFAM_FT_BNST

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

• *Top-down path to region*: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Extended Amygdala (FAM.FT.EXTAM) -> Bed Nucleus of Stria Terminalis (FAM.FT.BNST) (see Mind Maps)
• *Type*: nucleus
• *Brain area*: Forebrain - Affective Motivations Area
• *Role*: relay
• *Function*: Mediate slow longer-lasting responses that accompany sustained threats
• *Notes to function*: Major output from AM to HT, part of extended amygdala; medial part continues to medial AM, central part continues to central AM
