Structure of brain involved in emotiona) Neocortexb) Limbic systemc) Thalamusd) Hippocampuse) Basal ganglia
The limbic system has a central component and a peripheral component. The central component is limbic cortex or the allocortex which is located around the peripheral margins of basal ganglia and includes orbitofrontal cortex, cingulate gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus, subcallosal gyrus and uncus. The peripheral component is hypothalamus. The co-ordination between both these components is managed by amygdala. Emotions originate in the limbic system which includes hippocampus.
