 | | There is some degree of overlap between the emotional and cognitive components of the anterior cingulate, and they are extensively interconnected. | | | Recent evidence from EEG and fMRI indicates that the anterior cingulate is particularly active when the subject recognizes that he or she has just committed an error in one of these difficult tasks. | | | A large body of clinical and functional imaging data support the crucial role of the ventral part of anterior cingulate cortex in emotional experience. |

| | As noted, the cingulate is sexually differentiated (MacLusky et al., 1987, 1994), and regardless of culture, human mothers tend to emphasize and even exaggerate social-emotional, and melodic-prosodic vocal features when interacting with their infants (Fernald, 1992; Fernald et al., 1989), which in turn appears to greatly influence infant emotional behavior and attention (Fernald, 1991). | | | The myelination of the corticospinal tract coincides with the descent of the larynx, the myelinization and development of the amygdala and the amygdalafugal brainstem pathway, and later, the maturation of the cingulate gyrus and its pyramidal brainstem pathways (Debakan, 1970; Langworthy, 1937; Yakovlev and Lecours, 1967; Yakovlev, and Rakic, 1966). | | | The anterior cingulate may well contribute to the "deceptive" vocalizations and behaviors demonstrated by innumerable mammalian and avian species (e.g., Hauser, 1997), such as when attempting to lure a predator away from one's helpless infants. |

| | Anterior Cingulate in Bipolar Disorder -- Neurotransmitter.net |
| | METHODS: Serial assessments of anterior cingulate cortex choline and myo-inositol metabolism were performed in nine subjects with bipolar disorder, taking either lithium or valproate, and 14 controls. | | | Localized gray matter deficits in bipolar subjects were found in the medial temporal lobe, orbito-frontal cortex, and the anterior cingulate, confirming and extending earlier studies. | | | CONCLUSIONS: The observation of a gray matter density decrease in the left anterior cingulate, which processes emotions, in bipolar subjects is consistent with prior reports that used region-of-interest analytic methods. |

| | In addition, Heilman (1997) in his review of the anterior cingulate cortex points out that conflict monitoring, response selection and initiation of action are all critical components of the function of the anterior cingulate cortex. | | | These studies suggest that the executive choice maker (aware ego) appears to be associated specifically with the anterior cingulate cortex and may represent a unique human capacity for informed decision making. | | | In our laboratory, we have attempted to further elucidate the nature of the anterior cingulate cortex by studying patients with Alzheimer's disease and anosognosia (Michon, Deweer, Pillon, Agid and Dubois, 1994). |

| | NOVA Online Everest Stroop Test Description |
| | Although the functions of the anterior cingulate are very complex, broadly speaking it acts as a conduit between lower, more impulse-driven brain regions and higher, more rationally-driven behaviors. | | | This region lies between the right and left halves of the frontal portion of the brain, and is involved in a wide range of thought processes and emotional responses. | | | Perhaps the Stroop effect's sensitivity to changes in brain function is related to its association with the anterior cingulate. |

| | Cogprints - Error detection and the Error-related ERP in patients with lesions involving the anterior cingulate and ... |
| | Evidence indicates that the anterior cingulate region generates what appears to be a specific electrophysiological marker for the monitoring of error responses. | | | When an auditory or visual stimulus is presented in such a way that the subject is likely to make an error, averaged encephalography (EEG) trials to erroneous responses consistently show a negative-going waveform which has been coined the error-related negativity (ERN). | | | We examined ERNs in patients with a ruptured aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery (AACA), who are particularly prone to showing damage in the anterior cingulate and adjacent regions, and frequently display a variety of behavioral and cognitive disturbances such as disorientation, confabulation, apathy, unawareness of deficit, and problems of attention, control and monitoring. |

| | The results suggest cognitive-enhancing medications commonly used in patients with age-related dementia may be more effective at treating compulsive hoarding behaviors than standard OCD medications such as serotonin reuptake inhibitors. | | | The study identified lower brain activity in the anterior cingulate gyrus of compulsive hoarders, compared with other OCD patients. | | | The study also found a correlation between severity of hoarding symptoms and lower brain activity in the anterior cingulate gyrus across all of the study subjects with OCD. |
