The cingulate cortex is a section of the cerebral cortex found in the medial portion of the cerebral hemispheres. In other words, to get a good view of the cingulate cortex one would have to make a slice through a brain parallel to the midline of the brain, and then look inside; the ...
Cingulate cortex - area of cortex that surrounds the corpus callosum and is thought to be important in emotional responses. It is considered part of the limbic system.
From Structure to Function: Individual Differences in Brain Folding Patterns Affect Anterior Cingulate Cortex-Based Functional NetworksSchvarcz, Ariel J
NIRS measures in pain and analgesia: Fundamentals, features, and function 3.2.3Anterior cingulate cortex Thecingulate cortexhas previously been categorized as a critical brain region involved in processing the affective component of pain (Fuchs et al., 2014;Vogt, 2005). It has connections (defined...
These studies have also implicated the cingulate cortex in the retrieval of memory. Studies of brain activation in humans during cognitive task performance have also implicated the cingulate cortex in processes of selective attention and response selection. Intriguingly, the authors of these studies do ...
Broca's (1878) definition of the limbic lobe referred to its being located at the edge of the cerebral cortex, and Papez (1937) and MacLean (1990) welded a series of medial surface structures into what we now know as the limbic system. The last four decades of research have provided a...
The orbitofrontal cortex and amygdala are involved in emotion and in motivation, but the relationship between these functions performed by these brain stru

Echoes of the Brain within the Posterior Cingulate Cortex.doi:10.1523/JNEUROSCI.3689-11.2012There is considerable uncertainty about the function of the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC). The PCC is a major node within the default mode network (DMN) and has high metabolic activity and dense ...
(2013) in this issue of Neurogastroenterology and Motility evaluated patients with Crohns disease (CD) for volumetric changes throughout the brain. They observed decreased gray matter volumes in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC) and disease duration was negatively ...
