Medial Mediodorsal Nucleus of Thalamus

@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaNDM -> BrainRegionNDM_FD_TH_MDM

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

• *Top-down path to region*: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Mediodorsal Nucleus of Thalamus (FCA.FD.TH.MD) -> Medial Mediodorsal Nucleus of Thalamus (NDM.FD.TH.MDM) (see Mind Maps)
• *Type*: nucleus
• *Brain area*: Neocortical Brain - Decision Making Area
• *Role*: processor
• *Function*: relay emotional attention to orbitofrontal cortex
• *Notes to function*: orbitofrontal cortex (BA12,13) defined by MDm projection; relay AM-Bp to OFC; OFCm - subjective pleasantness, OFCl - subjective unpleasantness
