 BRAIN- Seat of consciousness.

 HYPOTHALAMUS- Highly vascular., Controls

homeostatic mechanism.
 PITUTARY GLAND- Infundibulum connects the
hypothalamus to pituitary
 It contains both nerves and blood vessels.
❑Satiation centre/ Hunger Centre
❖Regulate hunger
❖Located in the ventro-median part of
the hypothalamus.
❖Satiation centre monitors the
quantity of food
 Stimulation of hypothalamic nuclei
produces various emotions such as fear,
pleasure etc.
 Some functions are under the control of
autonomic nervous system that are
influenced by emotions.
 It is controlled by the anterior part of
the hypothalamus and the neighboring
septal region.
 Hormonal stimulation.
 CEREBRAL CORTEX – Controls
emotional behavior.
 NEOPALLIUM-Arousal of aggressive
behavior.
 PALAEOPALLIUM- Placid behavior.
 In 1878,the French neurologist Paul
broca-limbic lobe(limbic system)
1)AMYGDALA- Identification of danger ,self
protection, fear, love, friendship etc.
2)HIPPOCAMPUS- Long term memory
3)HYPOTHALAMUS-Motivated behavior,
thermoregulation, sexuality, hunger, thirst.
 4)CINGULATE GYRUS-Emotional reaction
to pain, regulation of aggressive behavior
 5)PRE-FRONTAL AREA- It comprises the
entire non-motor anterior region of frontal
lobe
 The manifestation and regulation of
several behavior and motivational drives.
 1. What are the components that make up the limbic
system?

 2. What are the main output centers for the effects of the
limbic system?

 3. What is the relationship between the olfactory system

and the limbic system?

 4. What are the connections and functions of the

amygdala?

 5. How does "emotional memory" function in the

amygdala?

 6. What is the role of the prefrontal cortex in emotions?
