CEREBRART - Dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex

Many studies have provided evidence that social conflicts can generate activation in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex. The Anterior Cingulate Cortex is the frontal part of the Cingulate Cortex, that resembles a collar around the brain corpus callosum.

This CEREBRART work  illustrates the Dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex that is  involved in the distressing experience of social exclusion and might represent a circuit that underpins sadness.  So, this partially isolated brain illustrates not only an increased activity in the Dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex but also as an abstract idea of the experience of distress following social rejection/isolation associated with greater activity in the Dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex.

    Don't oversimplify the problem! Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) is composed of functionally distinct subregions.

      surely, thats why anterior cingulate cortex is chaotic and activated by everything. Different subregions that are unique in terms of their cytoarchitecture and neurotransmitter receptor organization

      Hi Anonymous - I think you're right.

    It's hard to see the forest through the trees. This picture is too chaotic. Dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex is pretty visible here but unfortunately black sad woman image is hidden.
