This page covers biological details of component Posterior Cortical Amygdaloid Nucleus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Extended Amygdala (FAM.FT.EXTAM) -> Amygdala (FAM.FT.AM) -> Corticomedial Nuclear Complex (FAM.FT.AM.CTM) -> Cortical Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.CO) -> Posterior Cortical Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.COP) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Quality: L0
• Brain area: Forebrain - Affective Motivations Area (FAM)
• Area circuit: Fast Unconditional Sensory Data and Association Memory (FAMXUS)
