Voorbeelden van cingulate cortices

• The exploratory search in the entire brain volume exposed additional overactivity in patients in the left superior parietal, medial prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortices.

• In these studies, more activity has been measured in medial prefrontal, orbitofrontal and cingulate cortices, thalamus, midbrain, hypothalamus, and striatum in response to infant cry versus control noise conditions.

• Burst firing induced in midbrain dopamine neurons by stimulation of the medial prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortices.

• Patients also exhibit neural activation in brain regions associated with pain perception in response to nonpainful stimuli in such areas as the prefrontal, supplemental motor, insular, and cingulate cortices.
