 | | 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). | | | 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). | | | As noted, it is the limbic system and the interactions of limbic nuclei such as the amygdala and the cingulate gyrus which not only stimulates the desire to communicate, but to form attachments, social groups, and eventually, the formation of the family. |

| | In addition to continuing to examine the relation of pre-treatment cingulate function and treatment outcome, future studies should examine patients longitudinally to determine whether post-treatment cingulate function is protective against depressive relapse. | | | Mayberg and colleagues previously found that metabolism in the anterior cingulate gyrus differed for subjects whose depression did or did not remit. | | | An important difference between the two studies is that all subjects in the current study responded to medication to some degree, whereas Mayberg's subjects varied more widely with respect to treatment response. |

| | What is becoming clearer, however, is that the anterior portion of the cingulate gyrus is too large and complex a structure to be discussed as a whole, and needs to be better understood with respect to its specific, areas. | | | In particular, the cingulate gyrus and its functioning needs to be refined further, with respect to its many areas. | | | This area is involved in conditioned emotional learning, vocalizations associated with expressing internal states, assessments of motivational content, assigning emotional valence to external and internal stimuli and regulating context-dependent behaviors. |

| | The cingulate gyrus plays an excitatory role in emotions and in motivated behavior in general. | | | The Frontal Lobe (associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving) works fine (to an extent, considering that the cingulate gyrus and the anterior commissure are missing), because the anterior body of the corpus callosum is intact. | | | It appears to provide an interface between the decision-making processes of the frontal cortex, the emotional functions of the amygdala, and the brain mechanisms controlling movement. |

| | Since the fornix is the primary efferent pathway from the hippocampus, severe damage to the hippocampal neurons can result in atrophy of the ipsilateral fornix. | | | The limbic system has a direct influence on neuroendocrine, autonomic, and behavior mechanisms, and it also has a role in functions such as fight or flight, homeostasis, self-maintenance, appetite, and sexuality. | | | Another theory is that anxiety disorders result from failure of the anterior cingulate and hippocampus to modulate the activity of the amygdala. |
