This page covers biological details of component Medial Interstitial Anterior Commissural Nucleus.
Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

  * *Top-down path to region*: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Extended Amygdala (FAM.FT.EXTAM) -> [BrainCenterFAM_FT_CEAM Central Extended Amygdala] (FAM.FT.CEAM) -> Interstitial Anterior Commissural Nucleus (FAM.FT.IPAC) -> [BrainRegionFAM_FT_IPAC_MED Medial Interstitial Anterior Commissural Nucleus] (FAM.FT.IPAC.MED) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: nucleus
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaFAM Forebrain - Affective Motivations Area] (FAM)
  * *Area circuit*: Express Flight Emotions (FAMXEFL)
  * *Role*: processor.affective.flight
  * *Function*: Sharp, acute pain sensation
  * *Notes to function*: 
   * reciprocate its afferent connections, similar to medial part of central amygdaloid nucleus
   *  projections to AM-Ce/BNST components, PB, and SOL originate chiefly from medial division
   *  strong ACh projections from caudal IPACm to AM-BL-posterior and amygdalopiriform transition area
