 LIMBIC SYSTEM  Limbic comes from a latin word which means border ,the limbic system was given this name because its structures lie along a horseshoe shaped area of cortex.  It appears to be a border between cerebral cortex and subcortical structures of the diencephalon. Brain stem is known as oldest brain structure and cerebrum which is located in the upper part of the brain is considered to be the newest structure the limbic system lies between these structure . Parts of limbic system: thalamus,hypothalamus,amygdala,hippocampus. Thalamus is right above the brainstem ,egg shaped structure, like midbrain in the brainstem is a relay centre for visual,auditory and motor sensation,thalamus also acts as a relay centre . Thalamus first receives all sensory information ,processes it before it sends to higher region of the brain that deals   with sight,hearing,touch and taste. Smell is the only thing which will not get affected when ...
