| | Psychopathology of Frontal Lobe Syndromes |
 | | Although marked disturbances of behavior following frontal lobe dysfunction have now been described for well over 120 years, these large areas of the human brain, and their links with some of the highest attributes of mankind, have been relatively neglected and are worthy of much further exploration by those interested in neuropsychiatric problems. | | | In the latter it is the whole of the patient's motoric and psychic life that is influenced, and the behavior disturbance itself reflects the pathologic state. | | | A further independent level is that of executive function of the human frontal lobes (anticipation, goal selection, preplanning, monitoring), which is superordinate to drive and sequencing, but may be subordinate to the role of the prefrontal cortex in self-awareness. |

| | The evidence for this includes studies of temporal lobe pathology, direct electrical stimulation studies, studies of temporal lobe epileptics, experimental studies of near death experiences(NDEs), and clinical studies comparing ketamine and LSD experiences and the actions of associated neurotransmitters within the human brain. | | | The mesial right temporal lobe, hippocampus, and associated limbic lobe structures are implicated as the biological substrates of out of body and religious experiences. | | | Deep right temporal lobe and associated limbic lobe structures are clearly linked to human religious experiences of all types, including conversion experiences and near death experiences. |

| | Limbic System: The Center of Emotions |
| | Lesion or stimulation of the medial dorsal and anterior nuclei of the thalamus are associated with changes in emotional reactivity. | | | Here specific affective functions are developed, such as the one that induces the females to nurse and protect their toddlers, or the one which induces these animals to develop ludic behaviors (playful moods). | | | However, the importance of these nuclei on the regulation of emotional behavior, is not due to the thalamus itself, but to the connections of these nuclei with other limbic system structures. |

| | Among the structures found in the limbic lobe is the hippocampus (see Figure 1) which plays an integral part in memory, and some emotion response. | | | Though the limbic lobe is a very important part of puzzle when looking at synesthesia, there have also been connections made with the visual (occipital lobes) and auditory (temporal lobe) cortices. | | | The limbic lobe is one of the five lobes of the brain, and can only be seen from a medial aspect. |

| | As the limbic system and structures such as the amygdala are involved in regulating or influencing arousal levels, the relaxation response, the the immune system and cardiovascular functioning, the activation of these structures may also account for the fact that those who are religiously inclined have a lower incidence of sickness and disease. | | | The amygdala, hippocampus, and temporal lobe are richly interconnected and appear to act in concert in regard to mystical experience, including the generation and experience of dream states and complex auditory and visual hallucinations, such as may be induced by LSD (Broughton 1982; Goldstein et al. | | | Presumably because all humans possess a limbic system and a brain that is organized in a similar manner, they have similar religious and mystical experiences, what Jung (1964) referred to as "archetypes;" inborn tendencies to produce, create, dream of, and respond in a similar manner to specific images, symbols, and experience. |

| | The limbic system in relation to acupuncture |
| | The reason why acupuncture doesn't work in patients who are afraid of it may be that their amygdalas are primed by early experiences of pain associated with needles so that they always react badly in similar situations (a form of fear conditioning). | | | Actually, the idea that the limbic system is concerned with emotion is at best a half-truth, but there certainly is a connection, which is probably relevant to acupuncture. | | | He went back to Broca's notion and suggested that the limbic lobe was responsible for emotion. |

| | The inferior parietal lobe was one of the last organs of the brain to evolve, and it is still one of the last organs to mature in the child (which explains why children have to wait a few years before they can write and do math). | | | Joseph claims that the emotional aspect of speaking is the original one: the motivation to speak comes from the limbic system, the archaic part of the brain that deals with emotions, and that we share with other mammals. | | | The limbic system motivates the organism to touch and be touched, and, again, touching becomes an important form of communication. |
