Nearly, 50 years ago, Karl Pribram in a discussion section
accompanying MacLean's proposal of a limbic system, criticized the
visceral or limbic brain concept as theoretically too vague and
cumbersome. In a recent review of the limbic system, Swanson points
to Brodal's criticism that the discovery of connections of limbic
structures with virtually all parts of the nervous system render
the concept of the limbic system useless, and better abandoned.
Additional dissatisfaction surrounding the limbic brain concept
stems from the feeling that it is historically inert (an antiquated
19th century construct). In our current age of neural networks, and
parallel distributed process it is of little value, merely an
historical curio. So why then this int- duction to limbic brain
anatomy? We offer several interrelated rationales behind our
labors. Recapitulation in the Service of Education: Although
concepts had evolved in the second half of this century which
effectively overthrew the idea of relatively isolated hemispheric
districts (i. e. striatal, cortical, and limbic), parsing the
hemisphere into these three districts was an important preliminary
step achieved by our forebears in their efforts to understand the
large scale structure of the higher mammalian cerebral hemisphere.
An examination of how the limbic brain concept came to be provides
an opp- tunity to recapitulate the process of exploration,
discovery, and und- standing as it relates to one of these
principle hemispheric domains.
