The limbic brain: continuing resolution.

چکیده
This paper presents an overview of the limbic brain and its distributed sub-systems. The extent of the limbic system has expanded in recent years. Among the brain areas that we now argue should be included in the extended limbic system are the medial prefrontal cortex, the insular cortex as well as the lower brainstem and spinal cord. In addition the limbic forebrain and limbic midbrain may be divided into medial and lateral divisions both anatomically and physiologically. This serves as an introduction to the papers that follow.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a syndrome causing from a severe traumatic happening that leads to threatened death or injury. PTSD is associated with changes in limbic, hippocampal, and prefrontal cortical region function due to changes in synaptogenesis, dendritic modifying, and neurogenesis.

متن کاملO7: Functional Characterization of Human GABAA Autoantibodies in the Context of Limbic Encephalitis
Limbic encephalitis is an adaptive autoimmune disease, induced by different autoantibodies, which target extracellular neuronal epitopes, such as NMDA or GABAB receptors1,2. Recently our group found another human antibody, which binds to the α1 subunit of the GABAA receptor. Since the GABAA receptor is responsible for the majority of fast inhibitory neurotransmission, we investigated chan...
