Paralimbic cortex

The paralimbic cortex is a part of the brain that helps to control emotion and help us express our feelings. It helps us to understand how we feel by sending out signals to our brain. This part of the brain is especially helpful when it comes to understanding the feelings that come with being with the people you care about or doing activities that you enjoy. It helps you remember those feelings and enjoy them even more.
