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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Cognitive Thalamus (FD.TH.CR) -> Anterior Nucleus of Thalamus (FD.TH.AN) -> Anteromedial Nucleus (NCP.FD.TH.AM) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Conscious Personality Area
• Role: processor.thalamichigh
• Function: feed-forward HF to PFC
