Limbic System

Somatic and autonomic output pathways for emotional expression converge onto the:

• hypothalamus

• reticular formation

• nucleus accumbens

• amygdala

Which part of the basal ganglia is less involved in motor control and more involved in emotion/reward pathways?

• putamen

• globus pallidus

• nucleus accumbens

• substantia nigra

Which pathway connects the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and the basal ganglia?

• Fornix

• Stria terminalis

• Papez circuit

• Mesolimbic projection

• Nigrostriatal projection

Which pathway connects the amygdala and the hypothalamus?

• Fornix

• Stria terminalis

• Papez circuit

• Mesolimbic projection

• Nigrostriatal projection

Under-stimulation of the amygdala can lead to:

• fear

• anxiety

• agression

• sham rage

• flat affect

Which lobe might constitute the "limbic integration cortex"?

• frontal

• parietal

• occipital

• temporal

• insular
