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

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Basal Ganglia (FEC.FT.BG) -> Striatum (FEC.FT.ST) -> Dorsal Striatum (FEC.FT.DST) -> Caudate Nucleus (FEC.FT.CN) -> Caudate Nucleus Tail (FEC.FT.CN.TL) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Quality: L0
• Brain area: Forebrain - Execution Control Area (FEC)
• Area circuit: Motor Motivational Salience (FECLM)
• Role: basal.ganglia.striatum
• Function: Successful classification learning, correct categorization
• Notes to function:
  • ITC, STC
