  * *Type*: nucleus
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaNDM Neocortical Brain - Decision Making Area] (NDM)
  * *Area circuit*: Motivatory Associations (MAS)
  * *Role*: processor.thalamichigh
  * *Function*: Pain center
  * *Notes to function*: 
   * Projections from SC Lamina I, trigeminal nucleus to ACC
