cingulate cortex - BrainInfo

cingulate cortex (CGX)

The term cingulate cortex refers to to a large portion of cerebral cortex on the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere. In the human it includes the entire cingulate gyrus and subcallosal gyrus of the limbic lobe, rostrally adjacent margins of the superior frontopolar gyrus and the superior rostral gyrus of the frontal lobe, and, caudally, part of the precuneus of the parietal lobe. Representing essentially the same territory included in the cingulate region of Brodmann-1909, it is segmented on the basis of internal structure as demonstrated by multiple histological and immunohistological stains, as well as connectivity and functional criteria ( Vogt-2012 ). Its location in the macaque is similar, except that the macaque has no superior frontopolar gyrus or superior rostral gyrus ( Martin-2000 ). In both species, it has four parts: the anterior cingulate cortex, the midcingulate cortex, the posterior cingulate cortex, and the retrosplenial cortex ( Vogt-2013 ). In the rat and mouse, which have no sulcal landmarks in that region, it is defined by internal structure as composed of three regions: anterior cingulate cortex, midcingulate cortex and retrosplenial cortex. Both lack posterior cingulate cortex ( Vogt-2014 ).

Models Where It Appears

Topographic Model of Human Cerebral Cortex

The topographic model of human cerebral cortex is a closed partitive hierarchical model of cerebral cortical structure in the human. The cerebral cortex is segmented on the basis of internal structure, connectivity, and/or functions of cortical areas. It is designed to update the comprehensive early twentieth century parcellations of Brodmann and of von Economo and Koskinas and their successors. A work in progress, it integrates the most authoritative, comprehensive, and recent parcellations and nomenclatures from peer-reviewed publications and neuroanatomical texts. For an equivalent model in the rodent, Search BrainInfo for ' Functional CNS Model - Rat '. This segmentation of the human cerebral cortex, based on a combination of internal structure, connectivity, and function, complements the classical segmentation of the cerebral cortex into lobes, lobules, and gyri based on sulcal patterns: For the classical segmentation, see ' cerebral cortex ' and click 'Locus in Brain Hierarchy'.
