The limbic system is located just above the brain stem and below the cortex. The hippocampus itself is highly involved with our memories.he limbic system also gives us that 'gut feeling.' The limbic system is vital to our survival. Therefore, the limbic system, including the hippocampus, is located in a very protected area of the brain. The hippocampus is a horseshoe-shaped structure.
