Limbic System
Emotions, drives, and memory formation
Amygdala
two lima-bean–sized neural clusters — enables aggression and fear.
Hypothalamus
a limbic system neural structure lying below (hypo) the thalamus; it directs several maintenance activities (eating, drinking, body temperature), helps govern the endocrine system, and is linked to emotion and reward.
Hippocampus
a neural center located in the limbic system; helps process explicit (conscious) memories — of facts and events — for storage.
Thalamus
the forebrain’s sensory control center, located on top of the brainstem; it directs messages to the sensory receiving areas in the cortex and transmits replies to the cerebellum and medulla.
Pituitary Gland
a small, pea-sized endocrine gland located at the base of your brain below your hypothalamus. It releases several important hormones and controls the function of many other endocrine system glands.
