Figure 6.4. Brain areas involved in emotional processes.
The figure shows some brain structures that are involved in the generation of emotion;
the amygdala, the nucleus accumbens, the anterior cinguate cortex (ACC), the hippocampus,
the orbitofrontal cortex, and the parahippocampal gyrus.
Traditionally, these structures are named limbic or paralimbic.^24
(Koelsch et al. 2010:315)
24 the notion of a ”limbic system” is outdated, but still in use (Brodal 2010:462)
