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 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 diencephalon, specifically the thalamus and hypothalamus. Therefore, damage to the Papez circuit would prevent communication between the limbic system and the diencephalon, but not necessarily the cerebrum or olfactory bulbs. The hippocampus is a part of the limbic system, so option B is incorrect. Option A is incorrect because the olfactory bulbs are not directly connected to the Papez circuit.
