This page covers biological details of component Ventral Pallidum Dorsolateral. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Basal Ganglia (FEC.FT.BG) -> Globus Pallidus (FEC.FT.GP) -> Ventral Pallidum (FEC.FT.VP) -> Ventral Pallidum Dorsolateral (FEC.FT.VP.DL) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Execution Control Area
• Role: basal.ganglia.pallidum
• Function: motivational loop, NAcc-core
• Notes to function: projects to STN, MD; circuit - VP-DL-rostral, DLPFC, NAcc-core-rostral, MD-rostral-lateral; circuit - VP-DL-caudal, DINS, NAcc-core-caudal, MD-caudal-medial
