posterior midcingulate cortex

posterior midcingulate cortex (pMCC)

The term posterior midcingulate cortex refers to the more caudal of two parts of the midcingulate cortex located caudally in the anterior cingulate gyrus of the human and the macaque. The other part is the anterior midcingulate cortex. In human the boundary between the two is approximated by the VCA line. Both are defined on the basis of multiple criteria, including internal structure, connectivity, and function. In the human the posterior midcingulate cortex is composed of five parts organized from the corpus callosum out as area p33', area p24a', area p24b', and area p24d. It is similar in the macaque, except that the macaque lacks an inner area p33' ( Vogt-2012 ). ( Vogt-2012 ). The equivalent in the rat and mouse may be located in the anterior cingulate area of the rodent ( Swanson-2004 ).

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'.
