The limbic system is implicated in adaptation, learning and memory processes, mood and control of the HPA-axis. The hormones of the HPA-axis coordinate information processing and promote connectivity between amygdala, prefrontal cortex and hippocampus to facilitate behavioural adaptation. Projections from the limbic structures innervate the PVN network and regulate trans-synaptically the activity of the HPA-axis.
