The Limbic System

•Broca, Papez, Kluver and Bucy

•Parts of the brain underlying emotional behavior

•Associated with the olfactory system; rhinencephalon = “smell brain”

“The hypothalamus, the anterior thalamic nucleus, the cingulate gyrus, the hippocampus and their interconnections, constitute a harmonious mechanism which may elaborate the functions of central emotion as well as participate in

the emotional expression.” -James Papez, 1939

Parts of Hippocampus

• The hippocampus can be divided into 4 different areas,

• Areas CA3 and CA1 are more diffuse; the small CA2 is hard to distinguish between them.

• The dentate gyrus is the dense dark layer of cells at the "tip" of the hippocampus.

• The subiculum sits at the base of the hippocampus, and is continuous with entorhinal cortex, which is part of the parahippocampal gyrus.


Department

52

Limbic Function

• Regulate :

• Emotional and motivational aspects of behavior

• Limbic projection to forebrain contribute to emotions and provide motivation for behaviors essential to survival


Department

53

Function of limbic System

• A- Limbic system is able to influence many aspects of emotional behavior via hypothalamus, which in turn employs :– 1 Autonomic nervous system– 2 Endocrine system

• B- Converting short term memory to long term memory and facilitate learning


Department

54

Connections of hippocampus

• 1- Perforant pathway from entorhinal area to dentate gyrus

• 2- Axons from dentate to pyramidal cell in CA3 sector

• 3- Axons from CA3 to fimbria

• 4- A branch from the CA3 fiber called Schaffer collateral, projects to CA1

• 5- CA1 projects to entorhinal cortex


Department

55


Department

56

Afferent Connections to Hippocampus

• 10 Groups of fibers pass to Hippocampus:

• 1- Fibers from cingulate gyrus

• 2- Fibers from septal area

• 3- Fibers from opposite hippocampus

• 4- Fibers from indusium grisum

• 5- Fibers from enthorhinal or olfactory area

• 6- Fibers from dentate and subiculum


Department

57

Afferents connections cont…

• 6- From auditory, visual, olfactory association cortex

• 7- Cholinergic fibers from septal area

• 8- Noradrenergic fibers from ceruleus nucleus

• 9- Cerotonergic fibers from raphe nuclei

• 10- Dopaminergic fibers from ventral tegmental area


Department

58

Efferents from hippocampus

• 1- Massive effertent fibers to association areas of cortex

• 2- Fornix fibers to :• Septal area• Anterior hypothalamus• Mammillary body, anterior thalamus and cingulate

cortex from which returns to hippocamus• Medial forbrain bundle (MFB)


Department

59

Medial forebrain bundle

• Is a complex group of fibers arising from basal olfactory regions, the septal nuclei, the periamygdaloid region and subiculum that passes to and through, the lateral preoptic and lateral hypothalamic regions. The bundle is formed at the level rostral to the anterior commissure, mainly of fibers from septal regions.


Department

60

Efferent Connections of Hippocampus

• Axons of large pyramidal cells of hippocampus emerge to form alveus and fimbria and fornix which pass to :

• 1- Mammillary body• 2- Anterior nucleus of thalamus• 3- Tegmentum of midbrain• 4- Septal area and anterior hypothalamus• 5- Habenular nuclei through stria

medullaris thalami

Department

62

Memory

• Autopsy and imaging studies of patients with memory disorders suggest that:

• 1- Hippocampus and related structures, such dorsomedial nucleus of thalamus are important in memory processing.

• 2- Bilateral damage to these structures results in impairment of recent memory

• 3- Lesion of hippocampus results in individual being unable to store long term memory

• 4- Hippocampus is concerned in converting short term memory to long term memory


Department

63

Memory Deficit

• A stroke can have this effect, but there must be bilateral damage of the hippocampal to affect memory. Therefore only situations that deplete blood or oxygen flow to the entire brain will produce a memory deficit. The pathology of severe temporal lobe epilepsy looks very similar to ischemic damage.


Department

64


Department

65

MEMORY

• If the amygdala is FEAR, then the hippocampus is MEMORY. To understand exactly how the hippocampus is involved in memory, however, you must first know a little about memory.

Diseases of the hippocampus:

• The hippocampus is particularly vulnerable to several disease processes, including ischemia, which is any obstruction of blood flow or oxygen deprivation, Alzheimer's disease, and epilepsy. These diseases selectively attack CA1, which effectively cuts through the hippocampal circuit.


Department

• Progressive dementia

• Forgetful, abnormalities of memory, cognition, orientation and behavior

• Neuronal loss in hippocampus/ parahippocampal gyrus/cortex

• Reduction in cholinergic innervation of cortex

The amygdala

• If you remember only one word about the amygdala, the word is Fear. And then are:

• Fight or Flight


Department

73

Inputs to Amygdala

• The association areas of visual, auditory, and somatosensory cortices are the main inputs to the amygdala

• It must to recognize the elements of a scene that signal danger.


Department

74

Outputs from Amygdala

• ِِ00 Amygdala must be able to control the autonomic system, to provoke such an instant sympathetic response. The main outputs of the amygdala are to the hypothalamus and brainstem autonomic centers, including the vagal nuclei and the sympathetic neurons.


Department

75


Department

76

Amygdala

• The amygdala is also involved with mood and the conscious emotional response to an event, whether positive or negative. To this end, the amygdala is also extensively interconnected with frontal cortex, mediodorsal thalamus, and the medial striatum.

Reticular formation

• Phylogenetically a very old neural network

• Made of nerve fibers and nerve cells

• Extend through axis of CNS from spinal cord to cerebrum

• Is strategically placed among nerve tracts and nuclei with vital importance, that is brain stem


Department

Neurons of Reticular formation

• Isodendritic neurons:– Long branching axon– Branching dendrites in a plane vertical to

axon


Department

86

Function of Reticular formation

• It receives input from all sensory systems

• It gives output to all motor systems


Department

87

General arrangement of reticular formation

• Reticular formation refers only to polysynaptic network in brain stem although extends cranially and caudally to whole CNS:- Median column, intermediate or raphe nucleus- Medial column, magnocelluar neurons

(efferent)- Lateral column, parvicellular neurons,

(afferent)

Components of reticular formation

• Pattern generators:– Somatic and visceral motor centers– Oscilators
