[PHYSIO] LIMBIC SYSTEM & HYPOTHALAMUS Flashcards
papez circuit includes
HE MAN ATE CAT
hippocampus
Mamillary body
anterior thalamic nuclei
cingulate gyrus
function of limbic system (7)
1-olfaction
2-control of feeding & appetite
3-maternal & sexual behavior
4- stimulation of autonomic response
5-control of emotions
6-memory
7-motivation
piriform cortex is responsible for
perception & discrimination of olfactory sensation
olfactory cortex consists of
piriform cortex
amygdala
entorhinal cortex
neocortex is responsible for
conscious discrimination of odor
amgydala is responsible for
emotional responses to olfactory stimuli
the neocortex is responsible for
conscious discrimination of odor
the entorhinal cortex is responsible for
olfactory memories
lesions of amydgala lead to
hyperphagia
amniophagia
define hyperphagia
increased eating
define amniophagia
indiscriminative ingestion of all kinds of food
sexual behavior and function are controlled by
limbic system + hypothalamus
sexual behavior & function are modified by
prefrontal cortex
social factors
psychic factors
expression of emotions by limbic system & hypothalamus include
somatic motor responses
autonomic responses
endocrine responses
rage & aggression are produced by stimulation of
areas of amygdala + lateral nucleus
