Lab 11 - The Limbic System
Components of the Limbic System
The cortical areas of the limbic system include the subcallosal, cingulate, and parahippocampal gyri, and the hippocampal formation. The major nuclei include the septal nuclei, amygdala, parts of the hypothalamus (especially the mammillary bodies), thalamus (especially the anterior and dorsomedial nuclei), and parts of the brain stem reticular formation.
