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

  * *Top-down path to region*: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> [BrainCenterFD_TH_CR Cognitive Thalamus] (FD.TH.CR) -> Anterior Nucleus of Thalamus (FD.TH.AN) -> [BrainRegionFMM_FD_TH_AV Anteroventral Nucleus] (FMM.FD.TH.AV) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: nucleus
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaFMM Forebrain - Memory Management Area] (FMM)
  * *Area circuit*: Theta Waves Control (MMATHETA)
  * *Role*: processor.memory.aggregator
  * *Function*: return loop to convey theta to HF, attentional processes
