Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the limbic system is a complex set of structures in the brain involved in emotion, behavior, and memory.
Recognize that the limbic system is not confined to a single location but spans several areas of the brain.
Identify the primary components of the limbic system, which include the hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, and hypothalamus.
Note that these structures are primarily located in the diencephalon and surrounding areas, which are part of the forebrain.
Differentiate the limbic system's location from other brain regions such as the cerebral cortex, spinal cord, and brainstem, which are not the primary locations for the limbic system.
