Failure in plasticity is considered to be an agerelated phenomenon, to which the limbic and paralimbic cortices are particularly vulnerable.
Chaotic behavior within the excitatory and inhibitory limbic circuits is thus expressed in sudden psychobiological state transitions.
Information can thus be channeled from limbic to cognitive and to motor circuits at the subcortical level, allowing for appropriate responses to environmental cues.
The processing of facial emotion involves a distributed network of limbic and paralimbic brain structures.
The disease subsequently spreads from the limbic stage to the neocortex.
Resilience would be increased by processes that restore prefrontal cortex and limbic cortex function.
Other mammals have only rigid, species-specific, limbic vocalizations.
The initiation of maternal behavior thus involves specific neural circuitry; and with pregnancy, structural and molecular changes occur in specific limbic, hypothalamic, and midbrain regions.
