      "The limbic system is responsible for some aspects of personal identity and for important functions related to memory. And, when the superior mammals arrived on the Earth, the cerebral unit (neopallium – the rational brain – mostly in the prefrontal cortex) was finally developed, a highly complex net of neural cells capable of producing a symbolic language, thus enabling man to exercise skillful intellectual tasks such as speech, reading, writing and performing calculations, making inventions and generating abstract thoughts. Humans display the largest web of connections between the prefrontal area and the traditional limbic structures. Perhaps, that is why they present, among all species, the greatest variety of feelings and emotions."

      * Regulation of homeostasis is under the influence of EMOTIONS.
      * Autonomic nervous system (sympathicus and parasympathicus) are under the influence of EMOTIONS.
      * Sensory processing is under the influence of EMOTIONS.
      * Cognitive processing, learning, memory, planning and decision making are all under the influence of EMOTIONS.

      So in Neojungian Typology the organic contexualization will be related to activity in the limbic system.
