The limbic system is a set of structures of the brain. These structures cover both sides of the thalamus, right under the cerebrum.[1] It is not a separate system, but a collection of structures from the cerebrum, diencephalon, and midbrain.[2] It supports many different functions, including emotion, behaviour, motivation, long-term memory, and olfaction.[3]
