I thought id satrt a thread... and as a starter im a little confused with the sections of the inner brain

Hi cscwaters,

 

What specific sections are giving you problems, and what is the nature of your confusion? Is it the limbic system in general, or something else?

The brain has various structures with supposed functions. Some people argue about whether or not a part of the brain actually serves a specific function, such as the hippocampus in totality being required for memory.

 

I suggest if you're new to the realm of anatomy and physiology that you start with the human body and then move toward understanding the human brain. Starting with the human body (skeletal and then muscle systems) will help advance structure/function memorization skills.

 

Maybe visit a local college/uni/medical library and start looking at their anatomy and physiology books.

well i have a pretty good idea of human anatomy already and the basic sections of the brain however the "inner brain" puzzles me slightly

Okay. I'm still really not clear about the nature of your confusion, but maybe this will help:
