NEET BIOLOGYNeural Control and CoordinationMedium

Question

The parts of the human brain that help in the regulation of sexual behavior, expression of excitement, pleasure, rage, fear, etc. are:

A

Corpus callosum and thalamus

B

Limbic system & hypothalamus

C

Corpora quadrigemina & hippocampus

D

Brain stem & epithalamus

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the textbook, the inner parts of the cerebral hemispheres and a group of associated deep structures like the amygdala and hippocampus form a complex structure called the limbic system. Along with the hypothalamus, it is involved in the regulation of sexual behaviour, expression of emotional reactions (e.g., excitement, pleasure, rage and fear), and motivation .

Exam Context & Concepts Covered

This question aligns with the NEET BIOLOGY syllabus, specifically targeting concepts from Neural Control and Coordination. Mastering this topic is crucial for scoring well in the upcoming medical entrance examinations. Solving conceptually related problems will help you understand the nuances of these concepts and improve your problem-solving speed.
