Cognition: executive function.
The anterior cingulate cortex is one part of the brain consistently associated with executive function, which comprises a broad class of mental processes involved in initiating and maintaining smooth information processing and coordinated actions in the central nervous system. Located on the medial...

Located on the medial aspect of the frontal cortex adjacent to the corpus callosum, the anterior cingulate cortex has rich bidirectional connections with the frontal, parietal, temporal, and entorhinal association cortexes and the amygdala. A number of mechanisms have been suggested to conceptualize how the anterior cingulate cortex exerts its executive function—motivated attention, attention for action, or error detection. Details are provided of the function of this region of the brain. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
