“limbic system”
(latin for “border / edge”)
(the limbic system was originally defined by ‘paul broca’ as a series of ‘cortical structures’ surrounding the limit between the ‘cerebral hemispheres’ and the ‘brain-stem’: the border (or limbus) of the brain)
.
(the limbic system is a set of brain structures located on both sides of the ‘thalamus’, immediately beneath the ‘cerebrum’)
.
(it has also been referred to as the paleo-mammalian cortex)
.
(it is not a ‘separate system’ but a collection of structures from the…)
‘telencephalon’
‘diencephalon’
‘mesencephalon’
.
.
(it includes the…)
‘olfactory bulbs’
‘hippocampus’
‘hypothalamus’
‘amygdala’
‘anterior thalamic nuclei’
‘fornix’
‘columns of fornix’
‘mammillary body’
‘septum pellucidum’
‘habenular commissure’
‘cingulate gyrus’
‘parahippocampal gyrus’
‘entorhinal cortex’
‘limbic midbrain areas’
.
.
(the ‘limbic system’ supports a variety of functions including…)
’emotion’
‘behavior’
‘motivation’
‘long-term memory’
‘olfaction’
.
(’emotional life’ is largely housed in the ‘limbic system’, and it has a great deal to do with the formation of ‘memories’)
.
(although the term only originated in the ‘1940s’, some neuroscientists (including ‘joseph ledoux’) have suggested that the concept of a ‘functionally unified limbic system’ should be abandoned as ‘obsolete’ because it is grounded mainly in ‘historical concepts’ of ‘brain anatomy’ that are no longer accepted as ‘accurate’)
