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

  * *Top-down path to region*: Hindbrain Metencephalon -> [BrainCenterHT_TG Pontine Tegmental Nuclei] (HT.TG) -> [BrainRegionFAM_HT_TG_NI Incertus Nucleus] (FAM.HT.TG.NI) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: nucleus
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaFAM Forebrain - Affective Motivations Area] (FAM)
  * *Area circuit*: Reward Emotions Control (FAMXREC)
  * *Role*: processor.affective
  * *Function*: Behavioural activation and the response to stress
  * *Notes to function*: 
   * Modulating influences on prefrontal and hippocampal cortical activity, midline behavior control
   *  modulatory nucleus
   *  relay from reticularis pontis oralis nucleus to septo-hippocampal system
