HMB200H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe, Frontal Lobe
Document Summary
Lecture 16: emotions and limbic system. Closest connection with olfactory system and hypothalamus: oldest areas of telencephalon, bordering diencephalon. Limbic means border. telencephalon: olfactory processing, sex and emotional behavior. Starts at non cortical area to cortical olfactory areas and cortical limbic areas. Limbic = border areas that border the diencephalon, underneath the cerebral cortex. Limbic system areas can be grouped into 2 categories: Subcortical limbic systems (extended amygdala) - interconnected: amygdala. Emotion and emotional learning: basal forebrain nuclei (ch1- 4, bed nucleus of stria terminalis. Sex and gender: ventral pallidum. Pair boding with vasopressin next to nucleus accumbens. Septum: nucleus accumbens (ventral striatum) Connected with hippocampus closely connected temporal lobe structure: subiculum and parahippocampal areas extend right out of hippocampus. Entorhinal cortex from emotional system to high cognitive processing system for memory olfactory processing and spatial maps. Extends upward from hippocampus, up to parietal lobe, above the corpus collosum.
