The limbic system in 2 minutes!
-
amygdala (almond in Greek) : fear and anxiety, emotional response, long-term memory, decision making
-
hippocampus (sea horse) : formation of memories (short term memories into longterm memories)

mamillary bodies : connected to both. Closely involved with process of memory
-
septal nuclei : pleasure, reward, motivation (eating; making love; earning money, addictive drugs) have direct effect on it
-
cingulate cortex : seems to play large role in error recognition (misspelled word to moral wrong)

To (super) simplify : 3 "layrs" of the brain
Reptilian brain - regulates the body : blood glucose levels, body temperature
Limbic system - emotional (mamals) : fear, arousal,anxiety, sexual longing
Cortex - decision center : impulse control, long term planning, emotional regulation
