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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Sensory Thalamus (FD.TH.SR) -> Posterior Thalamus (FD.TH.PTH) -> Submedial Nucleus of Thalamus (NDM.FD.TH.SM) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Decision Making Area
• Role: processor.thalamichigh
• Function: Pain center
• Notes to function: Projections from SC Lamina I, trigeminal nucleus to ACC
