Anterior cingulate cortex regulation of sympathetic activity.

Why the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is active in such a wide variety of cognitive and emotional tasks has become an important issue in recent research. In this issue of Brain , Critchley et al .…

The role of the anterior cingulate cortex in emotional response inhibition

Examining the precise contribution of the ACC to emotion‐modulated response inhibition by capitalizing on fine temporal resolution of the event‐related potentials (ERPs) and the recent advances in source localization provided additional data for understanding how, when, and where emotion interacts with response inhibition within the ACC.

A predominantly right-hemispheric network with affect-specific elements as the underlying organization of emotional processes is suggested.

Motor, cognitive, and affective areas of the cerebral cortex influence the adrenal medulla

Transneuronal transport of rabies virus is used to identify the areas of the primate cerebral cortex that communicate through multisynaptic connections with a major sympathetic effector, the adrenal medulla, to provide an anatomical basis for psychosomatic illness where mental states can alter organ function.

The Subgenual Anterior Cingulate Cortex in Mood Disorders

It is demonstrated that the mean gray matter volume of this anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) cortex is abnormally reduced in subjects with major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder, irrespective of mood state.

The Contribution of the Anterior Cingulate Cortex to Executive Processes in Cognition

Results using event-related fMRI confirm that the anterior cingulate cortex does show error related activity but that the same region of the brain also shows increased response related activity during correct responses associated with response competition, suggesting a re-conceptualization of the contribution of the ACC to executive processes that support an evaluative role.

Functional heterogeneity in cingulate cortex: the anterior executive and posterior evaluative regions.

There is a fundamental dichotomy between the functions of anterior and posterior cingulate cortices, which subserves primarily executive functions related to the emotional control of visceral, skeletal, and endocrine outflow and evaluation of spatial orientation and memory.

Contributions of anterior cingulate cortex to behaviour.

The cingulate epilepsy syndrome provides important support of experimental animal and human functional imaging studies for the role of anterior cingulates cortex in movement, affect and social behaviours.

Neural Correlates of Levels of Emotional Awareness: Evidence of an Interaction between Emotion and Attention in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex

This work used positron emission tomography and 15O-water to measure cerebral blood flow in healthy women during film- and recall-induced emotion and correlated CBF changes attributable to emotion with subjects' scores on the Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (LEAS), a measure of individual differences in the capacity to experience emotion in a differentiated and complex way.

Experiments suggest an integrated network of neural areas involved in executive attention, associated with the voluntary ability to select among competing items, to correct error and to regulate the authors' emotions, that serve to regulate both cognition and emotion.

Suppression of Regional Cerebral Blood during Emotional versus Higher Cognitive Implications for Interactions between Emotion and Cognition

Brain mapping studies using dynamic imaging methods demonstrate areas regional cerebral blood flow decreases, as well as areas where increases, during performance of various experimental tasks, with the intriguing observation that in areas in emotional processing, although flow as expected during specific emotion-related tasks, flow decreases performance of some attentionally demanding, cognitive tasks.

Conflict monitoring versus selection-for-action in anterior cingulate cortex

Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure brain activation during performance of a task where, for a particular subset of trials, the strength of selection-for-action is inversely related to the degree of response conflict, providing evidence in favour of the conflict-monitoring account of ACC function.

The role of the anterior cingulate in automatic and controlled processes: a developmental neuroanatomical study.

Performance was faster and more accurate during trials requiring predominantly controlled processes for those children with larger right anterior cingulate measures, consistent with adult neuroimaging findings of activation in the right anteriorcingulate during attention tasks and with lesion studies implicating greater right hemisphere involvement in attentional processes.

Deficits in Selective Attention Following Bilateral Anterior Cingulotomy

This patient demonstrated specific deficits in attention during the subacute postoperative period, which resolved spontaneously several months after surgery, consistent with the evolving view of the anterior cingulate's involvement in high-level processing selection.

Six patients with a basically well preserved personality suffering from severe, prolonged, and disabling psychiatric illness are studied, and changes that occurred after operation are described in the hope that they may illustrate some functions of the cingulate gyrus in normal cerebral economy, and thereby suggest therapeutic possibilities and limitations in individual cases of mental disorder.
