Ventromedial Amygdaloid Nucleus

@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaFAM -> BrainRegionFAM_FT_AM_LAVM

This page covers biological details of component Ventromedial 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) -> Basolateral Nuclear Complex (FAM.FT.AM.BL) -> Lateral Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.LA) -> Ventromedial Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.LAVM) (see Mind Maps)
Type: nucleus
Brain area: Forebrain - Affective Motivations Area
Role: relay
Function: conditional and unconditional convergence to affect polymodal memory formation
Notes to function: LA3; projects to ET
