Structural Organization of Cingulate Cortex: Areas, Neurons, and Somatodendritic Transmitter Receptors
Abstract
Although cingulate cortex is one of the largest components of the limbic system, it has remained an enigma to neuroscientists over the past century. This is because the structure of cingulate cortex undergoes complex transitions and many of its connections do not conform to the “rules” of neocortical organization. Moreover, it is difficult to access the medial surface of the cerebral cortex, and so cingulate cortex has remained largely silent in functional and neurological assessments. Its role in responses to noxious stimuli, movement, vocalization, motivation, and learning and memory only now is becoming apparent. Positron emission tomography studies of cerebral blood flow and metabolism are now exposing cingulate cortex to clinical assessments that were not previously feasible with electroencephalo-graphic techniques. These studies show important roles for cingulate cortex in attention and responses to painful stimuli, and they have confirmed in vitro findings of high opioid receptor binding. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

The psychological constructionist hypothesis draws on neuroscience literature showing that pregenual anterior cingulate cortex, subgenual anterior cingulate cortex, and anterior midcingulate cortex take part in distinct psychological operations related to realizing core affect.
“Our psychological constructionist hypothesis draws on the neuroscience literature showing that pACC, sACC, and the more dorsal anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC) (Vogt 1993; Vogt et al. 2003) take part in distinct psychological operations related to realizing core affect.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
