Anterior Cingulate Gyrus

Page history last edited by Jim Davies 14 years, 10 months ago

Location:

- looks like a collar enclosing the corpus-callosum

 

Functions:

- regulates blood pressure and heart rate

- rational cognitive functions such as reward anticipation, decision-making, empathy and emotion

- activation of ACG reduces capacity to learn how to use visual cues for anticipating rewards

- has been found to be active during reflective self-awareness

 

Mnemonics:

- Brain in a vat: if a brain in a vat is suddenly given a body, the ACG (along with another two areas) would be activated before many other parts of the brain because the being would be learning about itself while reflecting on its current state
