Scientists understand that mental illnesses are associated with changes in neurochemicals. For example,
in people who have depression, less of the neurotransmitter serotonin (small circles) is released into the
synaptic space than in people who do not have depression. Certain medications called selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) relieve symptoms of depression by causing an increase in the
amount of serotonin in the synaptic space.
 Limbic system: A group of
interconnected structures that
mediate emotions, learning and
memory
Cingulate gyrus: processing
conscious emotion
Thalamus: major relay experience
station between the
senses and the cortex

Amygdala: Fornix: connects

regulate our perceptios of, and hippocampus to other
reactions to, aggresion and parts of limbic system

Parahippocampal
Hippocampus: Storing gyrus: connecting
information in long-term pathway of the limbic
memory system.

surface represent the neuronal activity for a notional emulation. This emulation is abstract, and the active neural
networks instantiating the emulation are in higher-level motor and sensory association areas of the brain.
