limbic system

visceral brain

Originally an anatomical designation, the limbic system names a set of midline structures surrounding the brainstem of the mammalian brain, among them the hippocampal formation, the amygdala, the hypothalamus, and the cingulate cortex. The term has since drifted from that basis: it has come to be associated with the brain system subserving emotional functions, and as a result it is now very poorly defined and no longer corresponds closely to its original anatomical meaning. The entry is retained because the name remains in wide use, but the boundary of what it includes depends on whether an anatomical or a functional criterion is applied. Its alternative designation, the visceral brain, reflects the functional reading. It is classified as an organ system subdivision.

A set of midline structures surrounding the brainstem of the mammalian brain, originally described anatomically, e.g., hippocampal formation, amygdala, hypothalamus, cingulate cortex. Although the original designation was anatomical, the limbic system has come to be associated with the system in the brain subserving emotional functions. As such, it is very poorly defined and doesn't correspond closely to the anatomical meaning any longer. [BirnLex].
