What is the role of the hippocampus in the limbic system?

Options

  1. AControls body temperature, urge for eating and drinking
  2. BInvolved in the regulation of sexual behavior
  3. CA complex structure formed by the inner parts of cerebral hemispheres
  4. DProcessing of memory and spatial navigation

Correct answer

D. Processing of memory and spatial navigation

Step-by-step solution

The thalamus is a major coordinating center for sensory and motor signaling.The limbic system, along with the hypothalamus, is involved in the regulation of sexual behavior, expression of emotional reactions, and motivation.The amygdala, along with other structures of the limbic system, is involved in the expression of emotional reactions. The hippocampus, along with other structures of the limbic system, is involved in processing of memory and spatial navigation. The midbrain is located between the thalamus/hypoth
