Single Side Left or right side of a region / system / organ.
The limbic system is involved in numerous critical functions including mood, emotion, cognition, memory, learning, motivation, and social processing. It consists of multiple interconnected nuclei and cortical regions and receives numerous sensory inputs. This Silicone Plastinate reveals many of the component parts of the limbic system, helping learners to visualise the position, interconnections and relations of this normally hidden system.
