----
This page covers biological details of component Medial Mediodorsal Nucleus of Thalamus.
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) -> Mediodorsal Nucleus of Thalamus (FD.TH.MD) -> [BrainRegionNDM_FD_TH_MDM Medial Mediodorsal Nucleus of Thalamus] (NDM.FD.TH.MDM) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
* *Type*: nucleus
* *Quality*: L0
* *Brain area*: [BrainAreaNDM Neocortical Brain - Decision Making Area] (NDM)
* *Area circuit*: High-Level Control (HLC)
* *Role*: thalamic.cortex.reinforce
* *Function*: relay emotional attention to orbitofrontal cortex
* *Notes to function*:
* orbitofrontal cortex (BA12,13) defined by MDm projection
* relay AM-Bp to OFC
* OFCm - subjective pleasantness, OFCl - subjective unpleasantness
