Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of the limbic system in the central nervous system. The limbic system is a complex set of structures located on both sides of the thalamus, just under the cerebrum.
Recognize that the limbic system is primarily associated with emotions and memory. It includes structures such as the hippocampus, amygdala, and parts of the hypothalamus.
Differentiate the functions of the limbic system from other parts of the brain. For example, voluntary muscle movements are primarily controlled by the motor cortex and basal ganglia.
Identify that balance and coordination are mainly managed by the cerebellum, which is distinct from the limbic system.
Acknowledge that sensory processing involves various parts of the brain, including the thalamus and sensory cortex, rather than the limbic system.
