Figure 24-1. Sagittal diagram of the limbic system. A. Surface topography of the limbic system and associated prefrontal cortex. B. Connections of the limbic structures and their relation to the thalamus, hypothalamus, and midbrain tegmentum. The cortical parts of the limbic system, or limbic lobe, are interconnected by a septohypothalamic–mesencephalic bundle ending in the hippocampus, and the fornix, which runs from the hippocampus back to the mammillary bodies, and by tracts from the mammillary bodies to the thalamus and from the thalamus to the cingulate gyrus. The Papez circuit is the internal component of this system. See also Fig. 24-2 and the text. (Reproduced with permission from Kandel ER, Schwartz JH, Jessell TM: Principles of Neural Science, 4th ed.
