The term rostral anterior cingulate cortex refers to the anterior part of the topologically defined anterior cingulate gyrus. Defined on the basis of fMRI as functionally different from the caudal anterior cingulate cortex it corresponds approximately to the architectonically defined anterior cingulate cortex. The caudal anterior cingulate cortex corresponds to the architectonically defined anterior midcingulate cortex ( Vogt-2012 ).
