Limbic System (Memory)

The structures of the limbic system are surrounded by an area of the cortex referred to as
the limbic lobe. The system forms a collarlike or ringlike shape on the inner surfaces of
the cerebral hemispheres, both above and below the corpus callosum. As such, the limbic
system comprises the inward-facing parts of other cortical lobes, including the temporal,
parietal, and frontal, where the left and right lobes curve around to face each other.
Important anatomical parts of this lobe are hippocampus and amygdala, associated with
memory and emotions respectively.
