limbic lobe in dogs

Part of cerebral hemisphere located on the medial surface, forming a ring around the brain stem. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the limbic lobe is

Part of cerebral hemisphere located on the medial surface, forming a ring around the brain stem. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the limbic lobe is

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the limbic lobe connects to

The atlas records 11 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of cerebral hemisphere and organ.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the limbic lobe. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

What does the limbic lobe connect to?

Is the limbic lobe the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
