This page covers biological details of component group Central Extended Amygdala. Component group is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to center: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Extended Amygdala (FAM.FT.EXTAM) -> Central Extended Amygdala (FAM.FT.CEAM) (see Mind Maps)
• Function: Communicating reward information to cortical and hippocampal targets

Components

(generated)

Component items:

• Endopiriform Nucleus (FAM.FT.EPF): Putative relay of limbic-associated cortical-like areas subserving affective information
• Bed Nucleus of Stria Terminalis (FAM.FT.BNST): Mediate slow longer-lasting responses that accompany sustained threats
• Substantia innominata (FT.SIN)
  • Basal Nucleus of Meynert (LMC.FT.NBM): Control imagination vs perception
• Interstitial Anterior Commissural Nucleus (FAM.FT.IPAC): Sharp, acute pain sensation
  • Medial Interstitial Anterior Commissural Nucleus (FAM.FT.IPAC.MED): Sharp, acute pain sensation
  • Lateral Interstitial Anterior Commissural Nucleus (FEC.FT.IPAC.LT): Striatal territory
