All of the following are true concerning the amygdaloid complex EXCEPT that:
A. It receives polysensory input regarding ongoing sensory experiences B. If lesioned, results in a profound increase in aggressive behavior with exaggerated emotions C. It projects to regions of the hypothalamus which control appetite and modulate the synthesis and release of gonadotrophins D. It is located within the rostral parahippocampal gyrus E. It projects to brainstem autonomic nuclei mediating visceromotor responses associated with emotionality |
B

|
The two nuclei of the thalamus which have extensive connections with the limbic system are the:
A. Mediodorsal nucleus and pulvinar B. Mediodorsal nucleus and anterior nucleus C. Anterior nucleus and ventral anterior nucleus D. Ventral anterior nucleus and ventral posterior nucleus E. Lateral posterior nucleus and pulvinar |
B
|

|
Bilateral lesions produce a loss of short-term (recent) memory
A. Amygdaloid complex B. Hippocampal formation C. Nucleus accumbens septi D. Nucleus basalis of Meynert E. Prefrontal cortex |
B
|

|
Lesion produces lack of emotion and hypersexuality (Kluver-Bucy syndrome)
A. Amygdaloid complex B. Hippocampal formation C. Nucleus accumbens septi D. Nucleus basalis of Meynert E. Prefrontal cortex |
A
|
|
|
The mammillary complex of the hypothalamus:
A. Contributes to the hypothalamo–hypophyeeal tract B. Does not receive major input from the hippocampus C. Receives major input from the amygdaloid complex D. Is a major source of releasing factors that affect the anterior lobe of the pituitary E. Has a major projection to the anterior nucleus of the thalamus |
E
|
|
|
Projects to dorsomedial thalamic nucleus, thereby relaying limbic influence to the prefrontal cortex
A. Hippocampal formation B. Amygdaloid complex C. Nucleus accumbens of the basal forebrain D. Nucleus basalis of Meynert of the basal forebrain E. None of the above |
B
|
|

All of the following structures belong to Papez' "central circuit of emotion" EXCEPT the:
A. Fornix B. Amygdala C. Hypothalamus D. Cingulate gyrus E. Anterior nucleus of thalamus |
B
|
|
|
processes emotional aspects of sensory information
A. amygdala B. hypothalamus C. hippocampus D. medulla pons E. dorsal vagal nucleus |
A

|
Which of the following thalamic nuclei is (are) related to the limbic system?
A. VPM and VPL B. MD and anterior nuclei C. LP and pulvinar nuclei D. LGN and MGN E. VA and VL |
B
|
|
|
The prefrontal cortex plays a role in mood and personality and is able to act therefore as the "neocortical representative of the limbic system" because of its:
A. Mesocortical cholinergic inputs from the pedunculopontine nucleus (Ch5) of the dorsolateral pontine tegmentum B. Inputs from the dorsomedial thalamic nucleus C. Inputs from the hippocampal formation D. All of the above E. Both A and B |
B
|
|
|
Which of the following is NOT considered to be a "limbic" structure?
A. Cingulate gyrus B. Inferior parietal lobule C. Amygdaloid complex D. Mammillary body E. Anterior nucleus of the thalamus |
B
|
|
|
Which of the following limbic structures has (have) reciprocal connections with the amygdaloid complex?
A. Septum/basal forebrain B. Hypothalamus C. Hippocampus D. All of the above E. Both A and B |
E
|
|
|
Which of the following has been called the "neocortical representative of the limbic system" based upon its connections with the hypothalamus, amygdala, and mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus?
A. Inferior parietal lobule B. Cingulate gyrus C. Hippocampus D. Prefrontal cortex E. Parahippocampal gyrus |
