Damage to the Papez circuit prevents communication between
A)the limbic system and olfactory bulbs.
B)the limbic system and hippocampus.
C)the limbic system and the thalamus diencephalon.
D)the limbic system and the cerebrum.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Papez circuit is a neural pathway that connects the limbic system with the thalamus, which serves as a relay station for sensory information going to the cerebral cortex. Therefore, damage to this circuit would prevent communication between the limbic system and the thalamus diencephalon. Options A and B are incorrect because they do not involve the thalamus, which is a key component of the Papez circuit. Option D is incorrect because the cerebrum is not directly part of the Papez circuit.
