File:Primary direction of corticolimbic traffic - cropped.png

English: Left: primary direction of corticolimbic traffic for organizing output from limbic integration toward specific action modules in the motor cortex. Two separate control paths are routed from limbic networks through the frontal lobe to motor cortex. A ventrolateral pathway proceeds from olfactory cortex through the orbital frontal lobe to lateral frontal cortex before reaching the ventral premotor and motor cortices (ventral/bottom arrows). A mediodorsal pathway proceeds from the cingulate gyrus through medial frontal cortex to dorsolateral frontal cortex to the premotor and motor areas on the lateral convexity of the hemisphere (upper/dorsal arrows). Right: primary direction of corticolimbic traffic for integrating perception from specific modules in the sensory cortex (in this case the arrows start from the visual area) toward the limbic cortex shown for dorsal (upper arrows) and ventral (bottom arrows).
