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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Cognitive Thalamus (FD.TH.CR) -> Intralaminar and Midline Nuclei of Thalamus (FD.TH.IML) -> Midline Nuclear Group of Thalamus (FD.TH.MTH) -> Ventral Midline Nuclear Group of Thalamus (FD.TH.MVT) -> Reuniens Nucleus of Thalamus (FMM.FD.TH.RE) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Memory Management Area
• Role: processor.memory.aggregator
• Function: Gate information between OMPFC and HC dependent upon attentive/arousal states
• Notes to function: Regulate amount of neural traffic with changes in attentiveness
