The Limbic System *
نویسنده
چکیده
The subject of the limbic system is old anatomically, but very new from the point of view of our knowledge of its function-indeed, so new that many of the more important disclosures have been made within the last two years. These recent advances have a direct bearing on many branches of clinical medicine and are of immediate importance both to the general physician and to the neurologist. The limbic system, or "visceral brain," as it has recently been designated,' was first defined by Paul Broca in 1878,' and I give his original definition:

The cerebral cortex can be functionally subdivided into primary sensory-motor, unimodal association, heteromodal association, paralimbic and limbic regions. Broca was the first who described limbic lobe in 1874, as a ring of gray matter, lying between the diencephalon and more lateral neocortex on the medial surface of the hemisphers. It locates outside of the corpus callosum and consists of su...

متن کاملThe limbic system: a review of its empirical foundation.
The concept of the limbic system is highly influential in many areas of the neurosciences and in their applications to clinical medicine. The value of this concept has been questioned, denied, and defended several times in the past but a comprehensive critical evaluation has never been published. In this article we take several approaches to analyse empirical data of relevance to the limbic sys...
متن کاملA review of systems and networks of the limbic forebrain/limbic midbrain.
Evolutionarily older brain systems, such as the limbic system, appear to serve fundamental aspects of emotional processing and provide relevant and motivational information for phylogenetically more recent brain systems to regulate complex behaviors. Overall, overt behavior is, in part, determined by the interactions of multiple learning and memory systems, some seemingly complementary and some...

Background: Depression, as one of the most prevalent and disabling disorders in the world, has a complex and yet not well-known pathophysiology. Genetic, hormonal, neurotransmitter, inflammatory and neurodegenerative theories are all responsible. Studies show that depression leads to structural changes in the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, amygdala, anterior cingulate, and basal bodies. Hippoc...
