The literature dealing with the behavioral effects produced by lesions of the septum, frontal cortical areas, and the hippocampus is reviewed. It is concluded that the dorsomedial septum, the dorsolateral frontal cortex (and homologous structures), and the dorsal hippocampus form a nodal point within a larger neuronal system that is involved in response regulation. A model describing the response regulatory processes mediated by this frontal cortical-limbic system is proposed. Motor programs are written in frontal cortex and temporarily stored in hippocampus. Feedback stimuli derived from response initiation and maintenance are compared against the stored hippocampal motor program. If the feedback information matches with the expected outcomes dictated by the motor program, the response sequence is terminated. If comparator deviations arise, the frontal cortical areas are signaled of error and a new motor program is written. Hippocampal theta activity is postulated to be a correlate of comparator activation and feedback analysis.
