Limbic System Stabilization

Meaning

Limbic System Stabilization is the process of modulating the activity of the limbic system, a complex set of brain structures involved in emotion, motivation, memory, and the regulation of the autonomic nervous system. Clinical interventions, often psychological or neurofeedback-based, aim to reduce the system’s hyper-reactivity to perceived threats and stressors, thereby promoting a state of emotional and physiological calm. Achieving this stabilization is vital because the limbic system is intimately connected to the hypothalamus, the control center for the HPA axis and subsequent stress hormone release.
