Abstract

In this chapter, we will review the anatomical components of the limbic system and its basic functions. The main structures of the brain will be presented in their morphology and neurochemistry as well as the connections of the limbic structures to each other and their links with motor and sensory-cognitive brain regions. The aim is to get to know the main functions of the respective limbic region, but also the overlapping and complementary functions with other limbic structures.
