One of the important parts of the brain is the limbic system. 

  • Hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, and hypothalamus are parts of the limbic system. 
  • Hippocampus is responsible for the storage of long-term memories. 
  • Amygdala stores emotional memories of our experiences. 
  • Thalamus is called a relay station of the brain. It receives all information from the body and sends it to various parts of the brain. 
  • Hypothalamus controls major bodily needs like hunger, thirst, sex as well as temperature regulation, and sleep.
