Limbic lobe

The limbic lobe is a curved region of the cerebral cortex visible on the inner side of each cerebral hemisphere. It is situated at the junction between the diencephalon and telencephalon (the cerebral hemispheres). The cortical limbic lobe extends from the subcallosal area, which is found in front of the paraterminal gyrus and underneath the rostrum of corpus callosum. Here it includes the subcallosal, paraterminal, and paraolfactory gyri. Moving further, the limbic lobe surrounds the corpus callosum in the form of the cingulate gyrus. Posteroinferior to the splenium of corpus callosum lies the narrow isthmus of the cingulate gyrus, which then continues downwards to become the parahippocampal gyrus on the lower surface of the temporal lobe. These different parts of the limbic lobe are connected by a bundle of white matter called the cingulum.

It's important to distinguish between the limbic system and the limbic lobe. The limbic system encompasses not only the cortical structures of the limbic lobe but also the adjacent structures in the deeper regions that are interconnected with the limbic lobe.
