Thalamus:
This structure is important because all sensory information enters this structure where neurons sent that information to the overlying cortex.
Hippocampus:
The Hippocampus is used for learning and memory. It converts short term memory to more permanent memory and recalls spatial relationships in the world about us.
Hypothalamus:
The hypothalamus controls emotion, thirst, hunger, circadian rhythms, autonomic nervous system, and keeps homeostasis. It also controls the pituitary.
Amygdala:
The Amygdala is located in the temporal lobe and is involved in memory, emotion, and fear. It is large and just beneath the surface of the front.
