This page covers biological details of component Lateral Mediodorsal 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) -> Mediodorsal Nucleus of Thalamus (FD.TH.MD) -> Lateral Mediodorsal Nucleus of Thalamus (NMA.FD.TH.MDL) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Motor Aggregation Area
• Role: thalamic.cortex.reinforce
• Function: relay tegmentum to dorsal cingulate cortex
• Notes to function:
  • Relay Superior Colliculus, TH-LD, LDTG, IPD to ACCdl
