16. FUNCTIONS OF THE LIMBIC SYSTEM Cingulate cortex: Coordination of sensory signals Emotion Hippocampus: Long-term memory development Hypothalamus: Endocrine regulation Body temperature Regulation of thirst and hunger Regulation of circadian rhythms Amygdala: Aggression and fear Septal area: Sexual arousal
