The retrosplenial region is a brain area and part of the cingulate cortex.

There are two primary parts of the cingulate cortex, as is typical with most brain structures.

The cingulate cortex is usually considered part of the limbic lobe.

This role makes the cingulate cortex highly important in disorders such as depression and schizophrenia.

There also is evidence of increased activation in the anterior cingulate cortex when lies are told.

The cingulate cortex is made up of an area around the midline of the brain.

The anterior cingulate cortex has functions linked to motivation and emotion.

Source monitoring is centralized to the anterior cingulate cortex.

Recalling artificial memories are known to activate the posterior cingulate cortex.

The heaviest projections are from cingulate cortex, frontal and parietal areas.

Pain seems to specifically activate a region known as the cingulate cortex, in addition to activation that is mentioned earlier.

Cytoarchitectonically the posterior cingulate cortex is associated with Brodmann areas 23 and 31.

The anterior cingulate cortex is responsible for detecting incongruences between expectation and perceived experience.

Two additional brain structures that have been found to contribute are the amygdala and the anterior cingulate cortex.

The posterior cingulate cortex forms a central node in the "default mode" network of the brain.

In this procedure, a surgical lesion is made in an area of the brain (the cingulate cortex).

When the Anterior cingulate cortex is damaged it will create akinetic mutism.

Bilateral Cingulotomy targets the anterior cingulate cortex, which is a part of the limbic system.

Neuroimaging also uncovered different sub-regions in the anterior cingulate cortex itself based on their function.

Area 24 - Ventral anterior cingulate cortex.

The Anterior cingulate cortex is thought to supply a "global energizing factor" that stimulates decision making.

The critical question now, he added, is how does the fact that the observer's anterior cingulate cortex is activated influence learning or behavior in general?

Viewing the opposing candidate, however, activated the anterior cingulate cortex, which indicates cognitive and emotional conflict.

Mapping the functional connectivity of anterior cingulate cortex.

Thus, lesions in the anterior cingulate cortex might contribute to the lessening of the disinhibition effect.
