The limbic system is a neural system located below the cerebral hemispheres of the brain. Three structures that are part of the limbic system are the hypothalamus‚ hippocampus‚ and the amygdala. These three structures work together as a whole making it feasible for the body to function properly. The hypothalamus is a small‚ but busiest part of the brain located just below the thalamus and is mainly concerned with homeostasis. It is an important link in the command chain governing bodily maintenance

functions of Hypothalamus since this also forms a part of the limbic system and the class has been taken separately There are other areas in the structures near to the limbic system that are intimately connected to it – namely cingulate gyrus‚ basal ganglia‚ ventral tegmental area of the brain stem (just below the thalamus) and prefrontal cortex. So their functions are also needed to be studied alongwith this. LIMBIC SYSTEM 16th April‚ 2014 History • Paul Broca (1824-1880): 1878:

The Limbic System Most reptiles and lower order organisms only have the “old brain”‚ the evolutionarily oldest part of the brain responsible for vital tasks such as breathing and sleeping‚ whereas higher order organisms have a limbic system. The old brain is comprised of the pons‚ the medulla oblongata‚ the brain stem‚ the thalamus‚ the cerebellum‚ and the reticular formation. The reticular formation is a network inside of the brain stem‚ part of the “old brain” that is essential for arousal (sleeping

CHAPTER 5 • THE MEMORY SYSTEM PROBLEMS - Cap. 9 - Sistema di memoria 5.1 Give a block diagram similar to the one in Figure 5.10 for a 8M × 32 memory using 512K × 8 memory chips. 5.2 Consider the dynamic memory cell of Figure 5.6. Assume that C = 50 femtofarads (10−15 F) and that leakage current through the transistor is about 9 picoamperes (10−12 A). The voltage across the capacitor when it is fully charged is equal to 4.5 V. The cell must be refreshed before this voltage drops

The Memory System Memory is a very important aspect in a person’s life. It enables that individual to store information about various things that they can recall upon at a later time when that information is needed. The applications of your memory are boundless and are used every day whether we realize it or not for example taking test‚ fixing something around the house‚ playing a sport‚ etc. We are able to do this by associating that memory with a certain sounds‚ images‚ or colors that are familiar

what is LOVE? A weak human feeling? LOVE is blind? Valentine’s day? Ask any random person and you will get any random answer also. Personally‚ love is felt or expressed rather than defined‚ I cannot give the exact meaning but I know what it means and how to show it. Beyond that‚ I rest my case. The ancient Greeks tried to define and sort out LOVE. And they come up with four- Storge‚ Philia‚ Eros and Agape. And I have come up with this presentation to define all four in the simplest way possible. We

What Causes A Rainbow? What causes a rainbow to form? It’s a relatively simple answer. A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by both reflection and refraction of light in water droplets in the Earth’s atmosphere‚ resulting in a spectrum of colors in the sky. It takes the form of a multicolored arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun. Rainbows can be observed whenever there are water drops in the air and sunlight
