It is sometimes known as the "marginal part of the cingulate sulcus".

It does not extend as far as the cingulate sulcus.

Its outer border corresponds approximately to the cingulate sulcus.

The cingulate sulcus is a sulcus (brain fold) on the medial wall of the cerebral cortex.

The frontal and parietal lobes are separated by the cingulate sulcus from the cingulate gyrus.

Approximate boundaries are the cingulate sulcus dorsally and the parieto-occipital sulcus caudally.

It continuing the original course of the cingulate sulcus posteriorly from where the marginal branch of that fissure bends upward.

(Trends in Neuroscience) It is located above the cingulate sulcus inside the anterior paracentral lobule.

The marginal sulcus is the portion of the cingulate sulcus adjacent to the paracentral lobule and the precuneus.

Also the medial posterior parietal cortex is connected with posterior ventral bank of the cingulate sulcus.

It partially surrounds the subparietal sulcus, the ventral continuation of the cingulate sulcus in the parietal lobe.

It includes the cortex of the cingulate gyrus, which lies immediately above the corpus callosum, and the continuation of this in the cingulate sulcus.

It extends from the cingulate sulcus on the medial aspect of the hemisphere to the lateral sulcus on the lateral aspect.

Anteriorly it originates at the point of the upward bend of the marginal sulcus, where it is frequently confluent with the cingulate sulcus.

The precuneus is delineated anteriorly by the marginal branch of the cingulate sulcus, posteriorly by the parietooccipital sulcus, and inferiorly by the subparietal sulcus.

In The Astonishing Hypothesis, Francis Crick identifies the anterior cingulate, specifically the anterior cingulate sulcus, as a likely candidate for the center of free will in humans.

The cingulate sulcus defines approximately its inner boundary and the superior rostral sulcus (H) its ventral boundary; rostrally it extends almost to the margin of the frontal lobe.

In a study between filtered forms of abstract and representation art, the bilateral occipital gyri, left cingulate sulcus, and bilateral fusiform gyrus showed increased activation with increased preference when viewing art.

It lies between Brodmann area 30 and Brodmann area 31 and is located on the medial wall of the cingulate gyrus between the callosal sulcus and the cingulate sulcus.

A retrograde tracing experiment on macaque monkeys revealed that ventral anterior (VA) and ventral lateral (VL) nuclei of the thalamus are connected with motor areas of cingulate sulcus.

Dum and Strick hypothesized on the basis of cytoarchitecture and connections to the spinal cord that the portion of SMA in the cingulate sulcus, on the medial part of the hemisphere, can be split into three separate areas, the cingulate motor areas.

Sensorimotor Anterior Region This occurs around the margin of the cingulate sulcus (blue in figure) and is connected with sensorimotor areas of the cerebral cortex such as the paracentral lobule, supplementary motor area, premotor cortex, somatosensory area (Brodmann area 2), parietal operculum and insula.
