Verified step by step guidance

Understand the function of the limbic system: The limbic system is a complex set of structures in the brain that deals with emotions, memories, and arousal (or stimulation). It is often referred to as the emotional brain.

Identify key components of the limbic system: The primary structures include the hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, hypothalamus, and parts of the basal ganglia.

Evaluate each option: Determine if each structure listed is part of the limbic system by comparing it to the known components.

Hippocampus: Recognize that the hippocampus is a crucial part of the limbic system, primarily involved in memory formation and spatial navigation.

Amygdala: Identify the amygdala as another key component of the limbic system, which plays a significant role in processing emotions such as fear and pleasure.
