Abstract

The neuro-toxic effect induced in the rat limbic system after acute MK-801-treatment, affects all the limbic lobe areas, such as olfactory cortex, basolateral amygdala, hippocampal system, cingulate cortex and specific frontal and insular cortical region (allo-cortical and meso-cortical areas). In contrast, the sub-cortical nucleus usually included into the limbic system, such as the extended amygdala, the estriato-pallidal-ventral system, septal area, thalamus and hippothalamus, do not evidentiate neural death. Anatomo-pathological results suggest that the limbic lobe areas share common characteristics, and support the idea of a different functional unit, which differs from other sub-cortical “limbic” regions. This supports the idea of a limbic lobe formed only by thelencephalic allo-cortical and meso-cortical areas and implies the need to redefine the classic and broad concept of “limbic system”.
