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.
本文概述了边缘脑及其分布式子系统。近年来，边缘系统的范围有所扩大。我们现在认为应纳入扩展边缘系统的脑区包括内侧前额叶皮质、岛叶皮质以及低位脑干和脊髓。此外，边缘前脑和边缘中脑在解剖学和生理学上均可分为内侧和外侧部分。这作为后续论文的引言。
