the designation for the hippocampus, the amygdala, the septal nuclei, portions of the hypothalamus especially the mammillary bodies, the anterior thalamic nuclei, the cingulate gyrus, and the pathways that connect these structures. The components of the limbic system are essential for normal expression of emotion, motivated behaviour, and memory. Psychopharmacological interventions are often aimed at reducing over-excitability of these structures.
