@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaNCP -> BrainRegionNCP_FD_TH_VPI
This page covers biological details of component Ventral Posteroinferior Nucleus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.
- Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Sensory Thalamus (FD.TH.SR) -> Ventral Posterior Nuclei (NSA.FD.TH.VP) -> Ventral Posteroinferior Nucleus (NCP.FD.TH.VPI) (see Mind Maps)
- Type: nucleus
- Quality: L0
- Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Conscious Personality Area (NCP)
- Area circuit: Body Senses Relay (CBS)
- Role: thalamic.sensory.primary
- Function: Relays pain and temperature from body to insula
