Anterior Cingulate Cortex: Unique Role in Cognition and Emotion (original) (raw)
2011, Journal of Neuropsychiatry
Figure 1. (Left): The cingulate cortex (colored areas) lies in the medial wall of each hemisphere, adjacent to the corpus callosum (white). Brodmann divided this area into a precingulate (pink), now called the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and a postcingulate (blue) now called the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC). 1 (Right): The ACC is further subdivided into two major sections. The three most common approaches to naming are illustrated. 1-3 The dorsal posterior section (outlined in gold) has been called caudal or dorsal ACC. In Vogt's system it is considered a separate area, the middle cingulate cortex (MCC). The ventral anterior section (outlined in yellow) has been called rostral or ventral ACC. In Vogt's system, it is considered ACC. These major sections are commonly further divided, as illustrated.
