You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.223.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==[[Limbic system]]==
The limbic system, also known as the paleomammalian cortex, is a set of [[brain]] structures located on both sides of the [[thalamus]], immediately beneath the medial [[temporal lobe]] of the [[cerebrum]] primarily in the [[midbrain]].<ref name="Schacter, Daniel L 2012">Schacter, Daniel L. 2012. ''Psychology''.sec. 3.20</ref> The classification of structures as part of the limbic system is historical and originates from the position of the structures at the boundary between two functionally distinct components (hence, the name limbus, meaning border) and the structures' shared roles in emotional processes (see [[limbic system]] for more details). Hence, there is overlap of structures in the limbic system and in other classifications of brain structures. The following areas have been considered part of the limbic system.<ref name="swenson">((cite web|url=http://www.dartmouth.edu/~rswenson/NeuroSci/chapter_9.html|title=Chapter 9 - Limbic System|author=Swenson, Rand|access-date=9 January 2015|archive-date=27 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201127013736/https://www.dartmouth.edu/~rswenson/NeuroSci/chapter_9.html|url-status=dead)):</ref><ref name="rajmohan2">((cite journal|vauthors=Rajmohan V, Mohandas E|year=2007|title=The limbic system|journal=Indian Journal of Psychiatry|volume=49|issue=2|pages=132–139|doi=10.4103/0019-5545.33264|pmc=2917081|pmid=20711399 |doi-access=free ))</ref>

*Cortical areas:
**[[Limbic lobe]]
**[[Orbitofrontal cortex]]: a region in the frontal lobe involved in the process of decision-making
**[[Piriform cortex]]: part of the [[olfactory system]]
**[[Entorhinal cortex]]: related to memory and associative components
**[[Hippocampus]] and associated structures: play a central role in the consolidation of new memories
**[[Fornix of the brain|Fornix]]: a [[white matter]] structure connecting the hippocampus with other brain structures, particularly the [[mammillary bodies]] and [[septal nuclei]]
*Subcortical areas:
**[[Septal nuclei]]: a set of structures that lie in front of the [[lamina terminalis]], considered a pleasure zone
**[[Amygdala]]: located deep within the [[temporal lobes]] and related with a number of emotional processes
**[[Nucleus accumbens]]: involved in reward, pleasure, and addiction
*[[diencephalon|Diencephalic]] structures:
**[[Hypothalamus]]: a center for the limbic system, connected with the frontal lobes, septal nuclei, and the brain stem [[reticular formation]] via the [[medial forebrain bundle]], with the hippocampus via the fornix, and with the thalamus via the [[mammillothalamic fasciculus]]; regulates many autonomic processes
**[[Mammillary bodies]]: part of the hypothalamus that receives signals from the hippocampus via the fornix and projects them to the [[thalamus]]
**[[Anterior nuclei of thalamus]]: receive input from the mammillary bodies and involved in memory processing

Other areas that have been included in the limbic system include the:

*[[Stria medullaris of thalamus|Stria medullaris]]
* Central gray and dorsal and ventral nuclei of Gudden
