Limbic SystemLimbic System
• tracts & nuclei
• parts of cerebrum ( prefrontal lobe), basal nuclei, thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala, hippocampus
• the emotional/visceral brain
04/12/23 NS Pt 2 3
Limbic SystemLimbic System
• links basic emotions and higher functions
e.g. stress causing high BP, gut irritability
04/12/23 NS Pt 2 4
Limbic SystemLimbic System
• prefrontal lobes (highest mental functions)
modify behaviour in response to emotions
amygdala/hippocampus important in memory
04/12/23 NS Pt 2 5
Memory & LearningMemory & Learning
• Memory
storing thoughts, events, facts
• Learning
using memories to change behaviour
04/12/23 NS Pt 2 6

Long Term PotentiationLong Term Potentiation
• neurons at well used synapses change physically
• they transmit information from one neuron to another more easily

Drug AbuseDrug Abuse
mood altering drugs can affect the N.S. 2 ways:
• affecting the limbic system
• increasing or decreasing neurotransmitter action
04/12/23 NS Pt 2 43
Drug AbuseDrug Abuse
• stimulants excite neuronal activity e.g caffeine
• depressants suppress neuronal activity e.g. alcohol
04/12/23 NS Pt 2 44
Drug AbuseDrug Abuse
• the neurotransmitter dopamine affects mood
• some mood altering drugs prolong dopamine activity
e.g. cocaine
04/12/23 NS Pt 2 45
Drug AbuseDrug Abuse
• psychological/physical dependencies can be developed which
• cause addictions
04/12/23 NS Pt 2 46
Drug AbuseDrug Abuse
addictions cause
• the person to require more and more of the drug to get the same effect and
• the person to suffer from withdrawal symptoms if the drug is not available
