| | Limbic system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The limbic system (Latin limbus: "arc") is the collective name for structures in the human brain involved in emotion, motivation, and emotional association with memory. | | | There is circumstantial evidence that the limbic system also provides a custodial function for the maintenance of a healthy conscious state of mind. | | | , the limbic system influences the formation of memory by integrating emotional states with stored memories of physical sensations. |

| | Limbic system - the physiology of emotion, the visceral activity, the reception of olfactory impulses (whence rhinencephalic system). | | | The limbic system ensures the survival of the individual and of the species and determines adequate behavior to this purpose. | | | Hypothalamus - regulation of the chemical state of the body, of the arterial pressure, of the endocrine system; together with the limbic system, it plays an important role in emotional and motivational phenomena. |

| | The limbic system, interposed between the hypothalamus and the neocortex, mediates the accompanying emotions and is importantly involved in memory. | | | The limbic system provides the anatomical substrate for dirve-related behaviors, being connected with wide areas of the neocortex and hypothalamus. | | | The limbic system plays key roles in our emotional lives and in the formation of memories. |

| | This system is important because it controls some behaviors that are essential to the life of all mammals (finding food, self-preservation). | | | In humans, the limbic system is more involved in motivation and emotional behaviors. | | | Interestingly, the same structures found in the human limbic system can also be found in the brains of evolutionary ancient animals such as the alligator. |

| | Evidence that the limbic system is involved in emotion The system was first described by Papez in 1937. | | | He noticed that cells in the system respond to taste, smell, and pain and observed that these were all stimuli that evoke strong emotional reactions so he reasoned that this system might be involved in emotion. | | | MacLean (who we've talked about before-- he developed the idea of a triune brain) proposed that some of the strongest evidence for the role of the limbic system in emotion came from patients that experienced temporal lobe seizures. |

| | This system commands certain behaviors that are necessary for the survival of all mammals. | | | Lesion or stimulation of the medial dorsal and anterior nuclei of the thalamus are associated with changes in emotional reactivity. | | | 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. |

| | The Limbic System: The Seat of Consciousness in the Human Brain |
| | The center of emotions in the brain can be found in the limbic system where the vast panoply of emotions is regulated through the release of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters: Pleasure may be linked with chemical signals produced by the release of noradrenalin, and pain is associated with many neurotransmitters. | | | In response to a variety of stimuli, emotions arise in the limbic system, travelling along neural pathways to the frontal lobes of the cortex, where feelings are monitored and interpreted. | | | The Limbic system connects the higher and lower functions of our brains, it is called both the "Emotional Center" and the "Conscious system" of the brain. |
