  3. Human Brain

  4. Limbic System Paleomammalian brain A complex set of brain structures that lies on both sides of the thalamus, right under the cerebrum. • Collection of structures from the telencephalon, diencephalon and mesencephalon . • Includes the hippocampus,amygdala, anterior thalamic nuclei, septum, habenula, limbic cortex and fornix. • Supports a variety of functions, including emotion, behavior, motivation and long term memory, and olfaction. • Primarily responsible for our emotional life. • Critical role in the formation of memories.

  5. Emotion !!!!! Involves the entire nervous system. Two parts of the nervous system are especially significant: Limbic system Autonomic nervous system: Sympathethic Nervous System and Parasympathetic Nervous System
