Limbic Reflexology Research

The National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) has thousands of articles.


Understanding medical articles is not easy, but should you want to see evidence of the areas of the limbic brain that are involved with certain conditions and functions you can check out the links below. The articles are very detailed; I suggest you read only the abstract and conclusion.


Begin with. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2917081


The article above gives some of the limbic components after a brief history and mentions some functions and conditions: anxiety, depression, addiction, motivation, autonomic and endocrine responses, autism and aspergers, ADHD, biopolar, dementia, memory, sleep, fear and emotional responses.


Some limbic components (the entire list is not agreed upon):

  • Cingulate
  • Mamillary Body
  • Insula
  • Amygdala
  • Nucleus Accumbens
  • Pituitary
  • Subiculum
  • Rostral
  • Corpus Callosum
  • Habenula & Pineal
  • Hippocampus
  • Thalamus
  • Locus Coeruleus
  • Hypothalamus
  • Striatum
  • Substantia Nigra/VTA
  • Raphe
  • Periaqueductual Grey
  • Suprachiasmatic Nucleus
