The human body it's a very interesting concept for scientists, there are many things that we don't know about it. One of the most studied systems of the body it's the Limbic System and it's directly related to the brain.

The limbic system is a set of brain structures located in the brain. The function of this system consist of the physiological response to specific stimulus. It's in charge of emotions, behavior, motivation, long-term memory, the sense of smell and instinct . The emotional life resides in the limbic system, and it has a great deal to do with the formation of memories.

This system is located in the brain, on both sides of the thalamus, immediately beneath the cerebrum. It isn't very big, obviously smaller than the brain itself, it's a small part of it, but like i said before, it's very important physiologically speaking.

The lymbic sistem may present alterations like any other system. Some illness associated to it are: schizophrenia, limbic epilepsy, autism and dementia. This illness affects different parts of this system, causing certain effects and atypical behaviors.

It's a very hard job to keep the limbic system healthy, because there are so many things that may affect it and we don't know about it. But in the other side, there are a some things that we can do to keep it healthy like: do exercise, eat healthy food; but mainly do things we like and enjoy to stay away from stress and depression, and make grow up our mind.
