Brain-microbiota neural network: regulation of the visceral brain and accumulation of cognitive memory

The peculiarity of the limbic system is that between its structures there are simple bilateral relations and complex paths, forming a set of closed circles. Such an organization creates conditions for a long circulation of the same excitation in the system and thus for the preservation of a single state in it and the dominance of this state to other brain systems. The limbic system organizes and ensures the flow of vegetative, somatic and mental processes in emotional and motivational activity. It also provides perception and storage of emotionally significant information, selection and implementation of adaptive forms of emotional behavior. In this regard, the limbic system is called the “visceral brain”. The main medical and social significance of the visceral brain is the formation of emotions. The visceral brain is involved in the regulation of the functions of internal organs, smell, automatic regulation, emotions, memory, sleep, wakefulness, etc. Visceral brain determines the choice and implementation of adaptive forms of behavior, the dynamics of innate forms of behavior, maintenance of homeostasis, generative processes...
