NMH17-structures of the limbic system diagrams

Question 1

Answer 1

• This is in the anterior part of the brain, quite far forward
• The dark bits coming diagonally downwards (no. 17) are the internal capsules
• Between the internal capsule and the lateral ventricle you have the caudate nucleus
• The putamen is the thick yellow area that is lateral to the dark stain of the internal capsule
• No. 16, the yellow shading that appears to be merging with the internal capsule is the nucleus accumbens (this is also involved in the reward system)
• At the base of the septal membrane you get the septal nuclei
