Introduction
Case
A 40-year-old woman awoke from sleep and complained to her
husband of an indescribable unpleasant odor, nausea, and a
panicky, fearful sensation. During the following week, she had
repeated stereotyped episodes of this kind followed by decreased
responsiveness and slow, inappropriate speech lasting 2 to 3
minutes.
As we shall see, limbic system abnormalities can cause
paroxysmal disorders as seen in this patient. In this chapter we will
learn about this important and diverse neural system and the
consequences of limbic system damage or dysfunction.
History
Paul Broca (1824-1880): a French
physician, surgeon,anatomist, and
anthropologist. He is best known for
his research on Broca's area, a region
of the frontal lobe that has been
named after him.
The term “le grand lobe limbique”
(边缘叶)was first used by Broca
in 1878.
James Papez (1883-1958):
an American neuroanatomist
He is most famous for his
1937 description of the Papez
circuit which is a neural
pathway in the brain thought
to be involved in the cortical
control of emotion.

Paul D. MacLean (1913-2007)
an American physician and
neuroscientist who made
significant contributions in the
fields of physiology, psychiatry,
and brain research.
The term ‘limbic system’ was first
used by MacLean in 1952 to
describe a set of structurally and
functionally related structures of
the brain bordering the midline,
inner surface of each cerebral
hemisphere.
What are the limbic system ?
The LIMBIC SYSTEM includes diverse cortical and
subcortical structures located mainly in the medial and ventral
regions of the cerebral hemispheres. These structures are
unified by their evolutionarily ancient origins, and they
constitute the major portion of the forebrain in many species.
Only in higher mammals has the larger neocortical mantle
surpassed the limbic system in size.
Anatomy of limbic system
Main components of the LIMBIC SYSTEM

Core component: Hippocampus and amygdala.

Ventromedial hypothalamus (下丘脑腹内侧部).
The main circuit of Limbic System
What are the main functions of Limbic System?
The functions of the limbic system are also ancient, and they play an
important role for survival in the animal kingdom. Limbic functions
can be divided into the following four basic categories:
1. Homeostatic functions 稳态,
including autonomic and neuroendocrine control
2. Olfaction 嗅觉
3. Memory 记忆
4. Emotions and drives
“HOME”
The other important functions of limbic System

Generates emotions (Emotional brain)

Add feeling to sensory experience which direct to
behavior.

Affect: interpret the sensory experience as pleasant or
unpleasant.

Memory and learning which is closely linked to emotion.

Sexual behavior, emotions of rage ,fear, anxiety and
motivation
Part 1. Amygdaloid body
• Amygdaloid body :
Large nuclear group in temporal lobe.
Regions of the Amygdala

Large basolateral region: 基底外侧核
Provides direct input to basal ganglia and
motor system.

Small corticomedial group of nuclei: 皮质内侧核
Related to olfactory cortex.

Central nuclei: 中央核
Connected to hypothalamus.

Functions of the Amygdala
Relate environmental stimuli to
coordinated behavioral autonomic and
endocrine responses seen in speciespreservation.
 Responses include:

Feeding and drinking
Agnostic (fighting) behavior
Mating and maternal care
Responses to physical or emotional stresses.
Part 2. Hippocampus
Greek: “Sea Monster”
Hippocampus

Any sensory stimulus will go to the hippocampus, and from
there to the thalamus, hypothalamus and other limbic
structures through FORNIX 穹窿.

Stimulation of hippocampus can cause pleasure, rage, sex
drive, etc.

Important feature of hippocampus is that it creates
prolonged response

It has only three layered cortex.

It has role in learning and memory

hippocampal Network: The hippocampus forms a principally uni-directional network,
with input from the Entorhinal Cortex (EC) that forms connections with the Dentate
Gyrus (DG) and CA3 pyramidal neurons via the Perforant Path (PP). CA3 neurons
also receive input from the DG via the Mossy Fibres (MF). They send axons to CA1
pyramidal cells via the Schaffer Collateral Pathway (SC), as well as to CA1 cells in the
contralateral hippocampus via the Associational Commisural (AC) Pathway. CA1
neurons also receive inputs direct from the Perforant Path and send axons to the
Subiculum (Sb). These neurons in turn send the main hippocampal output back to
the EC, forming a loop.
