J Clin Neurophysiol. 2023 Sep 1;40(6):482-490. doi: 10.1097/WNP.0000000000000970. Epub 2023 Mar 15.

Abstract

The cingulate cortex is a paired brain region located on the medial wall of each hemisphere. This review explores the anatomy as well as the structural and functional connectivity of the cingulate cortex underlying essential roles this region plays in emotion, autonomic, cognitive, motor control, visual-spatial processing, and memory.
