Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The limbic system is a complex set of structures in the medial temporal lobe, including the hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus. It is often called the 'emotional brain' and is primarily responsible for processing emotions (fear, anger, pleasure), forming and retrieving memories, and regulating motivation and homeostatic drives (hunger, thirst). The medulla regulates heart rate, the cerebellum coordinates movement, and the occipital/temporal lobes process sensory information.
