Abstract
Limbic is one of the most elusive, equivocal, and, at the same time, the most useful and widely adopted terms in neuroscience. Its original usage derives from Paul Broca’s (1878) “grand lobe limbique,” referring to the ringlike structures that form the hilus of the cerebral hemisphere, including the hip-pocampal formation and pericallosal cingu-late cortex. The notion of a limbic system, “which may elaborate the functions of central emotion” (Papez, 1937), has since then evolved to include subcortical and neocor-tical structures that are believed to play a role in visceral functions, in the emotional aspects of behavior, and in learning and memory. As discussed in the introduction to this volume by Paul MacLean, the term limbic has been exploited in the anatomical and functional definition of a number of structures and no better term has hitherto emerged as its substitute.
