This page covers biological details of component Magnocellular Basal 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) (FAM.FT.AM) -> Basolateral Nuclear Complex (FAM.FT.AM.BL) -> Basal Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.B) -> Magnocellular Basal Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.BM) (FAM.FT.AM.BM) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Affective Motivations Area
• Role: relay
• Function: enhance emotional memories memories in medial prefrontal cortex
