Abstract
The term limbic indicates a border or limit, and the limbic region in the brain refers to the limit (limbus) between the cortex and the white matter. The limbic lobe is different from the limbic system. The limbic lobe is a telencephalic area, the surface of which is represented by the cingulate and parahippocampal gyri. The limbic system contains the limbic lobe and subcortical, diencephalic, and brainstem structures.
