Limbic System - Physiopathology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Limbic System'A set of forebrain structures common to all mammals that is defined functionally and anatomically. It is implicated in the higher integration of visceral, olfactory, and somatic information as well as homeostatic responses including fundamental survival behaviors (feeding, mating, emotion). For most authors, it includes the AMYGDALA; EPITHALAMUS; GYRUS CINGULI; hippocampal formation (see HIPPOCAMPUS); HYPOTHALAMUS; PARAHIPPOCAMPAL GYRUS; SEPTAL NUCLEI; anterior nuclear group of thalamus, and portions of the basal ganglia.

Temporolimbic activation by intracranial electrical stimulation.
30 Aug 2009 
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the results of intracranial electrical stimulation (ICES) as a pre-surgical tool in order to select the side of the operation in bitemporal lobe epilepsy (BTLE) patients who underwent depth electrode (DE) implantation. ... Read more...
Frontolimbic activity and cognitive bias in major depression.
30 Jul 2009 In order to explore neural activity that accompanies cognitive bias in mood disorders, the authors had clinically depressed and nondepressed controls complete a self-evaluation procedure in which they indicated whether trait words were ... Read more...
Combined SEEG and source localisation study of temporal lobe schizencephaly and polymicrogyria.
22 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES: Type 1 schizencephaly (SZ) is a cerebral malformation characterised by a cleft lined and surrounded by a polymicrogyric cortex, extending from the pial region to the peri-ventricular heterotopia. Our purpose was to combine and compare ... Read more...
