In studies with rodent and lagomorph subjects, the cingulate cortex has been extensively implicated in selective attention to stimuli that have come through association to predict aversion or reward. These stud
Heterogeneity of the cingulate cortex is evident in multiple dimensions including anatomy, function, connectivity, and involvement in networks and diseases. Using the recently developed functional connectivity gradient approach and resting-state functional MRI data, we found three functional connectivity gradie...
What is the cingulate cortex and what does it do? Early perspectives on the function of the cingulate cortex suggested the entire structure played an important role in emotion, but it is now thought that there are different functional specializations associated with different parts of the cingulate...
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...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain tissue at different stages were examined to compare the events of protein tau hiperphosphorilation and its assemble into Neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) in the hippocampus and the cingulate cortex and how this may be involved in the appearance of the Behavioral and ...
Revealed correlations can be summarized under the concept of an anteroposterior gradient of cortical function development and inter- hemispheric functional differences (Krotkova & Velichkovsky, 2008; Velichkovsky, 2006). Being evolutionarily younger, anterior regions of the cortex correspond less with ...
Different brain regions coordinate this complex decision, including the nucleus accumbens (NAc), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and ventral tegmental area (VTA). In utero exposure to synthetic glucocorticoids (iuGC), such as dexamethasone, triggers prominent motivation deficits but the impact of ...
Each cortical region has unique functional properties which depend upon its cytological composition and connections. Cingulate cortex stands out as being of particular interest for a growing number of reasons. First, it has been implicated in emotion (Pa
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 ...
The orbitofrontal cortex and amygdala are involved in emotion and in motivation, but the relationship between these functions performed by these brain stru
