The posterior cingulate cortex has also been firmly linked to emotional salience.

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

The posterior cingulate cortex has been strongly implicated as a key part of several intrinsic control networks.

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

The posterior cingulate cortex exhibits connectivity with a wide range of intrinsic control networks.

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

Cerebral blood flow and metabolic rate in the posterior cingulate cortex are approximately 40% higher than average across the brain.

These results support the hypothesis that the posterior cingulate cortex mediates interactions between emotion and memory.

The second, the posterior cingulate cortex has been linked to economic decision-making and assigning subjective value to rewards.

Imaging studies indicate a prominent role for the posterior cingulate cortex in pain and episodic memory retrieval.

When unpleasant melodies are played, the posterior cingulate cortex activates, which indicates a sense of conflict or emotional pain.

Brodmann area 23 (BA23) is a region in the brain corresponding to some portion of the posterior cingulate cortex.

The posterior cingulate cortex is considered a paralimbic cortical structure, consisting of Brodmann areas 23 and 31.

In non-human primates the following structural connections of the posterior cingulate cortex are well documented:

The posterior cingulate cortex is significantly bilaterally activated by emotional stimuli, independent of valence (positive or negative).

This anti-correlated pattern is indicative of the various differences and importance of subregions in the posterior cingulate cortex.

There is also pCC (posterior cingulate cortex) activity seen in neuroimaging studies during self-referential processing.

The left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate cortex are involved in the memory of autobiographical information.

In a study involving autobiographical recollection, the caudal part of the left posterior cingulate cortex was the only brain structure highly active in all subjects.

The posterior cingulate cortex seems to play a more non-executive function in monitoring and inhibiting the mind set and cognitive function.

The posterior cingulate cortex has been linked by lesion studies to spatial memory, configural learning, and maintenance of discriminative avoidance learning.

As is true in other areas of the posteromedial cortex, the posterior cingulate cortex has no apparent connections to primary sensory or motor areas.

Mounting evidence that the posterior cingulate cortex is involved in both integrating memories of experiences and initiating a signal to change behavioral strategies supports this hypothesis.

The posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), amygdala, and the thalamus sort relevant versus irrelevant information according to these biases.

Connections through the cingulate fasciculus link area 10 to the anterior, posterior cingulate cortex, and retrosplenial cortex.
