| The limbic system is a group of brain structures that play a role in memory, emotion, and motivation. The hippocampus and surrounding structures are thought to play crucial roles in the encoding and retrieval of memories. The amygdala, a structure that helps to regulate emotion, seems to play a role in emotional memories. | ||||||
