Figure 14– 12 a The Limbic System. Corpus callosum Fornix Pineal gland Cingulate gyrus (superior portion of limbic lobe) Anterior thalamic nuclei Parahippocampal gyrus (inferior portion of limbic lobe) Hypothalamus Mammillary body Temporal lobe of cerebrum Hippocampus (within dentate gyrus, the posterior portion of limbic lobe) a A diagrammatic sagittal section through the cerebrum, showing the cortical areas associated with the limbic system. The parahippocampal gyrus is shown as though transparent to make deeper limbic components visible. 6
