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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Intralaminar and Midline Nuclei of Thalamus (BGA.FD.TH.IML) -> Intralaminar Nuclear Group of Thalamus (BGA.FD.TH.IL) -> Caudal Intralaminar Nucleus of Thalamus (FEC.FD.TH.CIL) -> Centromedian Nucleus of Thalamus (FEC.FD.TH.CM) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Execution Control Area
• Role: relay
• Function: Control of level of cortical activity
• Notes to function: Lesions lead to persistent vegetative state
