 | | 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. |

| | Support for the idea that the anterior cingulate processes the affective components of pain comes from PET studies of patients with atypical facial pain where psychogenic mechanisms are thought to contribute to the perseveration of the pain. | | | The descending connections of the anterior cingulate cortex to the medial thalamic nuclei and to the peri-aqueductal gray in the brain stem suggest that this system may also be involved in the modulation of reflex responses to noxious stimuli. | | | The anterior cingulate cortex is an extensive area of the limbic cortex overlying the corpus callosum and is involved in the integration of cognition, affect, and response selection (Dovinsky et al. |

| | Anterior Cingulate in Bipolar Disorder -- Neurotransmitter.net |
| | This differential change pattern in patients and their siblings highlights the role of the anterior cingulate and medial frontal regions in mediating resiliency and vulnerability in bipolar disorder families. | | | Upregulation of the initiating step of the kynurenine pathway in postmortem anterior cingulate cortex from individuals with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. | | | 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. |

| | Physiological basis of pain perception and pain control in humans, and the role of the anterior cingulate cortex in pain processing. | | | Recently we developed a means of isolating and quantifying pain-related activity in the anterior cingulate cortex, which is a brain area located in medial part of the frontal lobe. | | | The anterior cingulate cortex has been shown in several other studies to become active whenever a painful stimulus is given. |

| | All these studies converge on the idea that activity in the pregenual ACC increases and decreases in tandem with changes in the subjective experience of pain that are not induced by changes in the painful stimulus inflicted. | | | One is the set of areas involved in pain in general: mainly the somatosensory cortex and the insula. | | | One interesting point in this context, pointed out to me by Jesse Prinz, is that cingulatomy patients (people who have had portions of their cingulate removed) are still conscious. |

| | The anterior cingulate cortex has been shown to play a very important role in the early stages of learning of our discriminative avoidance task while the posterior cingulate cortex is important in the later stages of learning. | | | Evidence for this is that lesions of the anterior or posterior cingulate cortex alone lead to early or late learning deficits, respectively. | | | This study tested the hypothesis that lesions of the posterior cingulate cortext in rabbits exposed to cocaine in utero will have a more severe learning deficit than that seen with cocaine exposure alone due to the inability of the posterior cingulate cortex to compensate for the abnormal functioning of the anterior cingulate cortex. |

| | A functional role for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide in anterior cingulate cortex |
| | These data provide evidence that VIP may modify the processing of afferent and efferent information within the anterior cingulate cortex in the conscious rat. | | | A functional role for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide in anterior cingulate cortex | | | As with many of the other peptidergic systems which have been identified in the central nervous system (CNS), it has proved extremely difficult to elucidate the nature and extent of the functional role of VIP in specific brain areas. |

| | Life Support: Thank heaven for the anterior cingulate cortex |
| | Where it is and what it does are beyond me. This is due in large part to my choice of college major. | | | I looked up "anterior cingulate cortex" on a whim the other day, after a series of happenings left me thinking about long-term memories, why we have them and what triggers their re-emergence from the deep, dark quarters of our mind. | | | It was in the middle of the hottest time of the year, and she smoked a cigarette on the way there and one on the way back. |
