The Septum is located at the midline and deep within the cerebrum just behind the front or anterior tip of the cingulate gyrus. This nucleus is anatomically and functionally related to other structures within the limbic system.

This region of the limbic system receives information from the olfactory bulbs, the hippocampus and the reticular formation, sending the altered signals to the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and amygdala. The septal region may be involved in controlling maternal behaviors.
