The limbic system is not a singular, discrete structure but rather a collection of interconnected brain regions. It includes key areas such as the hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus, among others, and varies in size depending on individual brain anatomy. Generally, it occupies a central position in the brain, surrounding the thalamus and sitting beneath the cerebral cortex, making it a relatively small part of the overall brain volume. Its size is not easily quantified in absolute terms, as it plays a crucial role in emotion, memory, and behavior rather than being defined by specific dimensions.
No, the limbic system is a set of brain structures involved in emotions, memory, and motivation, while the mammalian brain refers to the entire brain of mammals. The limbic system is a part of the mammalian brain.
It regulates body temperature.
The endocrine system
The olfactory or limbic system
Actually, the RAS (reticular activating system) is a network of neurons located in the brainstem that plays a key role in regulating sleep-wake cycles and overall consciousness by controlling the level of arousal in the brain. While it does interact with the limbic system, the RAS is not primarily located in the limbic system itself.
limbic system
The brainstem is to arousal as the limbic system is to emotion.
you would have the emotions of an alligator
The limbic system I think..Though I'm not an expert.
The limbic system is located on top of the brain stem and buried under the cortex.
Fear acknowledges the role of the limbic system. The limbic system, including the amygdala, plays a crucial role in processing fear responses and emotions.
Yes.
No, the limbic system is a set of brain structures involved in emotions, memory, and motivation, while the mammalian brain refers to the entire brain of mammals. The limbic system is a part of the mammalian brain.
The process involving the limbic system is emotional regulation, memory formation and retrieval, and the perception of pleasure and reward.
The limbic system is the set of brain structures that forms the inner border of the cortex.
The neural system at the border of the brainstem and the cerebral hemispheres is known as the limbic system. It is involved in emotions, memory, and behavior regulation. Key structures include the hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus.
