TLDR
As indicated in FIGURE 1, the primate forebrain has evolved in hierarchic fashion along the lines of three basic patterns that, in the diagram, are labeled “reptilian,’ “paleomammalian,” and “neomammilian.”
Abstract
As indicated in FIGURE 1, the primate forebrain has evolved in hierarchic fashion along the lines of three basic patterns that, in the diagram, are labeled “reptilian,” “paleomammalian,” and “neomammalian.” We possess, as it were, three different brains welded into one1*2*3-a triune brain.’ Despite some progress in our knowledge of the anatomy and chemistry of the three basic formations, we know remarkably little about how they are integrated and how they function together.

The organization of the human cerebral cortex estimated by intrinsic functional connectivity

TL;DR: In this paper, the organization of networks in the human cerebrum was explored using resting-state functional connectivity MRI data from 1,000 subjects and a clustering approach was employed to identify and replicate networks of functionally coupled regions across the cerebral cortex.

The limbic system

TL;DR: The structure of the Limbic System, the Amygdala, the Septal Area, the Hippocampus, and the Hypothalamus are explained and the role of these structures and their role in human emotion is explained.

Bilateral projections from precentral motor cortex to the putamen and other parts of the basal ganglia. An autoradiographic study in Macaca fascicularis.

TL;DR: By tracing radioactively labeled proteins transported by axonal flow, projections from area 4 to the ipsi- and contralateral neostriatum and claustrum were demonstrated in 7 monkeys, suggesting differential functions for the two striatal components in sensorimotor mechanisms.

Efferents and afferents of the ventral tegmental-A10 region studied after local injection of [3H]leucine and horseradish peroxidase

TL;DR: The efferents and the afferents of the VMT-A10 region were studied by using anterograde ([3H]leucine) and retrograde (HRP) tracing techniques and it is shown that descending dopaminergic projections from the A10 neurones have been demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disconnection syndromes of basal ganglia, thalamus, and cerebrocerebellar systems

TL;DR: A new theoretical framework for the distributed neural circuits is introduced, based on general, and specific, principles of anatomical organization, and on the architecture of the nodes that comprise these systems, which proposes that neural architecture determines function.

Projections of the lentiform nucleus in the monkey

TL;DR: The fiber degenerations resulting from variously located lesions of the lentiform nucleus were studied in the rhesus monkey by the aid of the Nauta-Gygax and Albrecht-Fernstrom techniques and evidence was obtained of pallidotegmental fibers extending caudally beyond the mesencephalon.
