Triune concept of McLean: Evolution and the Limbic System   1)Protoreptilian Brain: Instinct 2)Paleomammalian Brain: Limbic System –Emotion 3)Neomammalian Brain: Neocortex –Analytical Rasoning

Papez Circuit   Hippocampus>(Fimbria Fornix)> Mamillary bodies> (Mamillothalamic tract)> Anterodorsal Thalamus> (Anterior Thalamic Radiations)> Cingulate Cortex > (Cingulum) > Parahippocampal Regions> (Perforant Pathway)  
🗑
Nauta   Septo-(preoptico)-hypothalamic-mesencephalic continuum  
🗑
Current Conceptions of the Limbic System   •Includes the amygdala •Modified Papez circuitry •Multiple and complex functions  
🗑
Summary of Limbic Connections   1) Motivation (distributed in brain, includes hypothalamus and ANS) 2) Emotion (amygdala) 3) Memory (hippocampus)  
🗑
Characteristics of Limbic Functions   •Neither sensory nor motor but linked to both •Special links to autonomic and neuroendocrine(hypothalamus) systems •Have a cognitive component  
🗑
Amygdala Zones   *Basolateral: neocortical input, subcortical output. Role - memory, emotional significance of stimuli *Corticomedial:olfactory input, hypoth output. Role -feeding,appetite *Central:visceral sensory/motor, postparietal cortex. Role- auto responses to emo  
🗑
Major Circuit through the HCF   Entorhinal (via perforantpath to...) Dentate gyrus granule cells (mossy fiber pathway) CA3 pyramids (via Schaeffer collaterals to...) CA1 pyramids Subiculum Entorhinal (closes loop)  
🗑
Major Inputs to Hippocampal Formation   Cortical:Entorhinal cortex via perforant pathway (largest) Subcortical: Septum -Via the fornix -Cholinergic  
🗑
Septal Nuclei   A major fornix target(reciprocal cholinergic modulation w/ the hippocampus) Other connections with Hypothalamus, Amygdala, Cingulate cortex Self-stimulation hot spot (pleasure center)  
🗑
Evidence for Cortical Role in Emotion   •Irritability with sham rage implies tonic forebrain control •Emotion affects cognition and vice versa •PhineasGage •Cognition plays a role in our interpretation of affect

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
