Study Notes
Hippocampal Formation
- The main function of the hippocampal formation is memory and spatial navigation.
- The hippocampus terminates beneath the alveus, which functions as a layer of white matter that covers the hippocampus.
- The dentate gyrus is located within the hippocampal formation.
Ventricles and Boundaries
- The fornix forms the medial boundary of the lateral ventricles.
Lesions and Consequences
- A lesion in the hippocampus results in impaired memory formation and spatial navigation.
- A lesion in the amygdala affects emotional learning.
Emotional Learning and Response
- The amygdala plays a crucial role in emotional learning.
- The hypothalamus is involved in the development of sensations of emotion and visceral responses.
- The anterior cingulate cortex is associated with emotional regulation and executive functions.
Connections and Pathways
- The fornix connects the hippocampus to the mammillary bodies.
- The cingulum bundle is a pathway involved in the connection between the hippocampus and other brain regions.
Limbic System
- The main function of the limbic system is to influence the endocrine system and autonomic nervous system.
- The limbic system is involved in behavioral and emotional responses, especially those necessary for survival.
- The limbic system is NOT directly involved in the connection between the cerebellum and the basal ganglia.
- The term 'limbus' refers to a border or ring, and in the context of the limbic system, it refers to the border between the cerebrum and the brainstem.
- The hypothalamus is the main structure involved in the regulation of the limbic system.
- The structure responsible for memory and spatial navigation is the hippocampus.
- The cerebellum is NOT part of the limbic system.
