Limbic system s e r e h p s i m e h l. Reticular formation a l l u d e m l n o a h p e c n e e y. Part of basal ganglia: caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus and substantia nigra. Amygdala, mammillary bodies, hippocampus, fornix, septal nuclei, cingulate gyrus, olfactory bulb, stria terminalis. Ii, iii, iv, v, vi s e r e h p s i m e h n o a h p e c n e e. White matter is for connections between different brain parts. Grey matter is for receiving and processing information. Convolution is used for increasing the amount of cerebral cortex without increasing the overall volume of the brain. Each layer is unique because of different patterns/structures/density/size of cell bodies. Columnar organization = vertical columns form a circuit that performs a single function. Divides the temporal lobe from other regions of the hemisphere.
