the system is called the seat of emotions
In 1954, the limbic cortex was described by neuroanatomists. Since that time, the limbic system of the brain has been implicated as the seat of emotion, addiction, mood, and lots of other mental and emotional processes. It is the part of the brain that is phylogenetic ally very primitive. Many people call it âThe Lizard Brainâ because the limbic system is about all a lizard has for brain function.
