A complex set of linked structures in the mid-brain and fore-brain (specifically the thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala and hippocampus), that is closely connected to the temporal lobes. The limbic system is believed to be responsible for emotions and to function as a conduit for transmittal of information from the brain’s central core to the cortex. Also called the "animal brain" or the "paleomammalian brain." See text, Chapters 4 and 9. See also, "biological clock," "cerebrum, " "cortex" and "temporaL lobe."

The limbic system includes structures such as the amygdala, hippocampus, septal nuclei, hypothalamus, and transitional cortical regions (e.g., cingulate gyrus). This part of the brain is involved with emotional responses.

(rhinencephalon): the most ancient and primitive part of the brain; it is composed of both cortical and subcortical structures located on the medial, inferior surfaces of the cerebral hemispheres; the limbic system is involved in the processing of olfactory stimuli, emotions, motivation, and memory, and may be involved in cortical speech and language behavior literal/phonological paraphasia: More than half of the intended word is produced correctly. For example, a patient may say /pun/ instead of /spun/. In addition, transpositions of sounds can occur, e.g tevilision for television. (Brookshire, 1997).

A network of brain regions involved in the regulation of the functional of internal organs, emotions and the maintenance of homeostasis.

A broader concept than limbic lobe. It includes neural structures (hypothalamus, septal area, thalamus, rhinencephalic, neocortex etc.) functionally and anatomically related to the limbic lobe.

the designation for the hippocampus, the amygdala, the septal nuclei, portions of the hypothalamus especially the mammillary bodies, the anterior thalamic nuclei, the cingulate gyrus, and the pathways that connect these structures. The components of the limbic system are essential for normal expression of emotion, motivated behaviour, and memory. Psychopharmacological interventions are often aimed at reducing over-excitability of these structures.

A group of interlinked brain structures which are responsible for aspects of emotional, sexual, and eating behaviour.

a group of brain structures that influences the endocrine and autonomic motor systems.

Part of the brain which acts between mind and body. Concerned with regulation of the autonomic nervous system, endocrine glands, emotions and certain aspects of behavior.

The part of the brain that plays a role in the control and production of emotional behavior.

This is a group of functionally and developmentally linked structures in the brain (including the amygdala, cingulate cortex, hippocampus, septum and basal ganglia). The limbic system is involved in regulation of emotion, memory and processing complex socio-emotional communication.

A set of brain structures that generates our feelings, emotions, and motivations. It is also important in learning and memory.

the group of brain structures that influence the body?s unconscious movement and hormonal activity.

A group of brain structures - including the amygdala, hippocampus, septum and basal ganglia - that work to help regulate emotion, memory and certain aspects of movement.

A brain system managing physiological responses to emotions and is associated with behavior. It includes the thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala, and parts of the reticular formation, brainstem and cerebral cortex.

A group of deep brain structures, common to all mammals and including the hippocampus, amygdala, gyrus fornicatus, hypothalamus and connecting structures, associated with olfaction, emotion, motivation, behavior, and various autonomic functions.

Located above the brain stem, the limbic system controls all emotional activity. It is where an individual's instincts, habits, secrets, and fears originate. The limbic system works in concert with the neocortex to produce thoughtful decisions.

A group of structures located near the inner portion of the brain, beneath the cortex. This system is responsible for most of the body's emotional information, as well making memories. It also influences the endocrine system. Two of the brain's largest structures, the hippocampus and the amygdala, are responsible for memories, whereas the thalamus is considered the switchboard, transmitting information to specific areas of the brain.
