Limbic system
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brain: Limbic system
The limbic system (Latin limbus: "border" or "edge") includes the structures in the human brain involved in emotion, motivation, and emotional association with memory. The limbic system influences the formation of memory by integrating emotional states with stored memories of physical sensations (see emotional memory).

It's a little off topic, but I'd like to point out that the cerebral cortex evolved primarily from the olfactory bulb of the early chordate. As such, olfactory sensation is processed via fundamentally different pathways than other sensory input, and interacts with other parts of the brain (responsible for, say, memory, or emotion) in a deep and very poorly understood way.
On a somewhat less coherent note:
Yes. Lizard.
