THE LIMBIC SYSTEM

The Limbic System is composed of the Frontal Lobe, the Thalamus, Hippocampus and Hypothalamus regions, the Amygdala, and of the Olfactory Bulbs. It is a network of neural structures located at the base of the brainstem and is responsible for perception of odors, emotions, memory and drives such as needs for food or for sex. 


The LS is also affected by drug use and is stimulated by the high produced from those drugs.
