Nervous System 1. The limbic system is a system in the brain that involves neurons from several different regions. Explain where the limbic system is located, what structures make up the system, and the main roles of the limbic system, and how it is important in behavior 2. The cerebellum is an often overlooked region of the brain. Explain how it is physically connected to the brain stem, and what role it has in the muscular system.

 1. The limbic system is part of the brain structures located on either side of the thalamus, just below the cerebral cortex. It represents the border structures around the basal parts of the brain. The limbic system is very complex. The limbic system is in charge of controlling emotional behavior and urges. It has significance in the processes of eating, emotions, conflicts, fear, sexual reproduction, smell, sleep and dreaming, memory. The limbic system consists of the limbic lobe, the orbitofrontal cortex, the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus, the anterior nuclei of the thalamus, the septal area, the amygdala, the hippocampus, the hypothalamus, parts of the basal ganglia, the limbic nuclei of the midbrain.
2. Three peduncles (superior, middle and inferior) connect the cerebellum to the brain stem. Pons is connected to the cerebellum via the middle peduncle, the largest one of three peduncles. The midbrain
