Detailed explanation-1: -The limbic system is composed of four main parts: the hypothalamus, the amygdala, the thalamus, and the hippocampus. There are several other structures that may be involved in the limbic system as well, but scientists have not reached a unanimous consensus on them.
Detailed explanation-2: -The limbic system is the portion of the brain that deals with three key functions: emotions, memories and arousal (or stimulation). This system is composed of several parts, which are found above the brainstem and within the cerebrum.
Detailed explanation-3: -While there’s some debate in the scientific community about which structures are part of the limbic system, there’s a unanimous agreement about three of them: the amygdala, hippocampus, and cingulate gyrus.
Detailed explanation-4: -The limbic system includes the hippocampal formation, amygdala, septal nuclei, cingulate cortex, entorhinal cortex, perirhinal cortex, and parahippocampal cortex.
