Limbic system

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-006590

A collection of interconnected brain structures situated deep within the temporal lobes, forming a border around the brainstem. This system is primarily associated with emotion, memory formation, and motivation, integrating emotional responses with stored memories. Key components of the limbic system include the hippocampus, which is involved in memory consolidation, and the amygdala, which processes fear and other emotional reactions.
