Illustration of anatomy of limbic system of brain
Illustration of the anatomical structures of the limbic system of the brain, the complex network of nerve pathways which is involved with the expression of instinct & mood in the activities of various systems of the body. Anatomic regions of the brain that comprise the limbic system include the amygdaloid body (the lowermost of the two bulbous features in centre), the hippocampal formation (which obscures the yellow-coloured brainstem) and the hypothalamus (not visible here). Those activities governed by the limbic system include self- preservation, continuation of the species, expression of fear, rage & pleasure, and the formation of memory patterns

Central Nervous System Limbic System Brain
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate anatomy of the limbic system, a vital network of nerve pathways within the brain. The complexity of this system is beautifully illustrated, highlighting its crucial role in governing instinct and mood across various bodily systems. The anatomical regions depicted here include the amygdaloid body, positioned at the center as two bulbous features. Just above it lies the hippocampal formation, partially obscuring the brainstem with its vibrant yellow hue. Although not visible in this particular image, we must also acknowledge the importance of the hypothalamus within this remarkable system. Through this artwork, we gain insight into how our limbic system influences essential activities such as self-preservation and reproduction while shaping our emotional experiences like fear, rage, and pleasure. Moreover, it plays a pivotal role in forming memory patterns that shape our individuality. Science Photo Library has brilliantly captured both scientific precision and artistic beauty in portraying this fundamental aspect of human biology. This illustration serves as a visual gateway to understanding how these interconnected structures work harmoniously to regulate our most primal instincts and emotions. With its focus on anatomy, neuroscience enthusiasts will find themselves captivated by this print's ability to unravel one of nature's greatest wonders -the complex workings of our central nervous system's limbic system.
