Amygdala
Functions:
-1) connection between cortex & hypothalamus
-2) probably mediates feeling of emotions (electrical stimulation
elicits fear & can elicit same behaviors as stimulating
hypothalamus but w/ more natural onset and offset)
-3) lesions cause docile animals without fear

Hippocampus
Functions:
-1) mediates formation of new declarative memories
-2) bilateral lesions impairs a patient’s ability to form new
memories
-3) lesions do not impair other memories, such as motor
adaptation or learning motor tasks like a finger maze or doing a
jigsaw puzzle.

Nucleus Accumbens
Functions: -referred to as emotional component of
the basal ganglia -mediates motivation and reinforcement,
i.e., REWARD -appears to be a major site of action for
may addictive drugs -these drugs increase dopamine in NA -blocking dopamine in NA strongly
reduces pleasure from these drugs

Septal Nuclei
Functions: -related to experience of pleasure
-electrical stimulation of the septal nuclei humans causes extreme feelings of pleasure and joy
-animals lever press for stimulation here to the exclusion of food
and sleep
-septal nuclei are more active during sexual orgasm
-provide Ach input to hippocampus and may mediate some memory function
-in some animals damage to septal nuclei cause “sham rage” in which animals become extremely violent and angry with little or no external stimuli
