dorsal posterior cingulate cortex

dorsal posterior cingulate cortex (dPCC)

The term dorsal posterior cingulate cortex refers to the larger of two parts of the posterior cingulate cortex in the human and the macaque ( Vogt-2012 ). It is defined on the basis of multiple criteria including internal structure, connectivity, and function. The other component is the ventral posterior cingulate cortex. It is located in the posterior cingulate gyrus and rostral portion of the precuneus with a narrow extension to the parietal lobe in the upper bank of the cingulate sulcus. It has four components: area 23c of Vogt, area 23d of Vogt, area d23, and area d31. Its location and composition in the macaque are similar, except that extension into the parietal lobe is lacking. It may have partial equivalence to the cingulate/retrosplenial cortex of the rat ( Swanson-2004 ) and the mouse ( Hof-2000 ).

Also known as: dorsal posterior cingulate cortex, dorsal subregion of the cingulate cortex, dorsal PCC

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'.
