Chapter 40, Problem 9TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The limbic system is present in the brain and consists of gray matter centers—thalamus, hypothalamus, basal nuclei, amygdala, hippocampus, and olfactory bulbs. These all have different functions but work in coordination to control the voluntary activities of body.
