The limbic system includes:

 Hippocampi, mamillary bodies and septal area

 Insulae, cingulate and parahippocampal gyri

 Amygdala – subcortical nuclear masses adjacent to each temporal pole.

Other regions nearby are the nucleus accumbens, medial dorsal nucleus of the thalamus, hypothalamus and part of the RF. Orbital cortex, temporal pole, corpus callosum, choroid plexus and lateral ventricle are also nearby (Figure 2.12).

This region is involved in memory, arousal and mood – and in epilepsy (see hippocampal sclerosis, Chapter 7).
