  2. Limbic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_system

    There is controversy over the use of the term limbic system, with scientists such as Joseph E. LeDoux and Edmund Rolls arguing that the term be considered obsolete and abandoned. [43] [44] Originally, the limbic system was believed to be the emotional center of the brain, with cognition being the business of the neocortex. However, cognition ...

  3. Limbic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_resonance

    Limbic resonance is the idea that the capacity for sharing deep emotional states arises from the limbic system of the brain. [1] These states include the dopamine circuit-promoted feelings of empathic harmony, and the norepinephrine circuit-originated emotional states of fear, anxiety and anger.

  4. Papez circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papez_circuit

    MacLean believed that including the visceral brain in the limbic system accounted for the external sensory information associated with subjective emotional experiences. Since the limbic system consists of evolutionary primitive structures which prevents its interpretation verbally, the visceral brain accounts for the visual, auditory, olfactory ...

  5. Hippocampal prosthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampal_prosthesis

    The hippocampus is part of the human limbic system, which interacts with the neocortex and other parts of the brain to produce emotions. [1] As a part of the limbic system, the hippocampus plays its part in the formation of emotion in addition to its other roles, such as consolidation of new memories, navigation, and spatial orientation. [2]

  6. Neuroregeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroregeneration

    The nervous system is divided by neurologists into two parts: the central nervous system (which consists of the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (which consists of cranial and spinal nerves along with their associated ganglia). While the peripheral nervous system has an intrinsic ability for repair and regeneration, the ...

  7. Default mode network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_mode_network

    The default mode network has also been called the language network, semantic system, or limbic network. [11] Even though the dichotomy is misleading, [ 8 ] the term task-negative network is still sometimes used to contrast it against other more externally-oriented brain networks.

  8. Paralimbic cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paralimbic_cortex

    The paralimbic cortex provides a gradual transition from primary limbic regions, including the septal region, substantia innominata, and the amygdala nuclei, to higher neocortical regions. [4] There are dense connections between the paralimbic cortex and core limbic structures, in particular the amygdala.

  9. Amygdalotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amygdalotomy

    Deep brain stimulation studies in animals revealed that the temporal lobe is involved in mediating expressions of rage and aggression. [11] A more detailed analysis of specific regions of the temporal lobe in animals revealed that the limbic system, specifically the amygdala complex, is involved in mediating fear and aggression. [11]
