FLASH CARDS for the LIMBIC SYSTEM and HYPOTHALAMUS
In this computer version of flash cards, questions alternate with answers as you scroll down the page. We suggest that you limit the height of your viewing window so that you can't see the answers until you have made your own choices. In this exercise, we just ask you to identify structures or spaces.
