The effect of cingulate lesions on social behaviour and emotion
Abstract
Functional and structural neuroimaging of the human cingulate cortex has identified this region with emotion and social cognition and suggested that cingulate pathology may be associated with emotional and social behavioural disturbances. The importance of the cingulate cortex for emotion and social behaviour, however, has not been clear from lesion studies. Bilateral lesions in the cingulate cortex were made in three macaques and their social interactions were compared with those of controls. Subsequently, cingulate lesions were made in the three controls and their behaviour was compared before and after surgery. Cingulate lesions were associated with decreases in social interactions, time spent in proximity with other individuals, and vocalisations but an increase in manipulation of an inanimate object. The results are consistent with a cingulate role in social behaviour and emotion.

Large medial frontal lesions around the genu (involving areas 24, 32, 25) reduce social interactions and vocalisations.
“It was also reported that large medial frontal lesions around the genu (involving areas 24, 32, 25) reduce social interactions and vocalisations (Hadland et al., 2003).”

Rostral cingulate gyrus lesions centred around the genu and involving the cingulum failed to affect a visual discrimination learning task.
“While rostral cingulate gyrus lesions centred around the genu and involving the cingulum failed to affect a visual discrimination learning task, they did impair a conditional task in which different rewards were linked with different actions (Hadland et al., 2003).”

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.
