HIPPOCAMPUS AND FORNIX •<br />
The limbic system includes the hypothalamus and a collection of<br />
interconnected structures in the telencephalon (cingulate, parahippocampal,<br />
and subcallosal gyri), as well as the amygdala and hippocampal<br />
formation. The limbic system functions in linking emotion<br />
and motivation (amygdala), learning and memory (hippocampal<br />
formation), and sexual behavior (hypothalamus).<br />
