Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the primary functions of the limbic system. The limbic system is known for its role in emotion, behavior, motivation, long-term memory, and olfaction.
Examine the structures that are part of the limbic system. Key components include the amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus, and other related structures.
Understand the role of the limbic system in memory formation. The hippocampus, a part of the limbic system, is crucial for the formation of new memories.
