The limbic system is composed of the thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala and hippocampus

Try Again!

The thalamus is a walnut-size structure that receives, directs, processes and passes information between the cortex, brainstem and cerebellum.

Try Again!

Glial cells are the structural support of neurons that form myelin.
