What is it useful for ? Utopiah 23:23, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. That's a whole lot of densely worded stuff to not even get around to saying what it does. I thought this was an encyclopedia, not a medical text. I think I sprained my cingulate cortex trying to parse all that. Heh. Nalgas 11:42, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, what does the cingulate cortex do? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.32.181.162 (talk) 05:44, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Paracingulate Cortex

Hi all,

I think wikipedia needs an entry on the paracingulate cortex. I am far from an expert on brain anatomy, so if you guys could help, that would be great. Tony 17:33, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I completely agree. I'm a harvard trained doctor and I think that discussion is completely useless. It sounds like a neuroanatomy PhD student rambling on and on during a their dissertation defense. I would suggest at least discussing the 4 F's of the cingulate gyrus. Feeding, Fornicating, Fleeing, Fighting. That's what it does and that's why we care about it. It's often called the "rat brain." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.126.99.88 (talk) 14:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Harvard doctor! Several persons have done their best to write this article. Instead of criticizing with words like "rambling on and on", why don't you try to improve the article?Lova Falk (talk) 19:51, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It might be useful to break the article down into sections such as anatomy, cell composition, function, and pathologies. This article seems to focus a lot on the history/naming schemes of the cingulate cortex, and not so much on other important aspects. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.52.134.104 (talk) 18:13, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the Harvard trained doctor was trained there a long, long time ago or perhaps s/he is confused with the hypothalamus but nobody thinks "the 4 Fs" are what the cingulate does. It's not so easy to write about what the cingulate does because it does not have 4 simple functions. It is especially involved in things like error detection, resolving emotional interference, and inhibition of amygdala reactivity. Lots of new evidence and a new Nature Neurosci review has probably put the final nail in the coffin of the old emotional-congnitive ventral-dorsal anatomical split theory. http://www.nature.com/nrn/journal/v12/n3/abs/nrn2994.html MBVECO (talk) 18:53, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

merged content from Cingulate gyrus and Cingulate sulcus

...as suggested at WPMED's cleanup listing. Neurotip (talk) 20:34, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The contents of Cingulate gyrus was merged into Cingulate cortex. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

The contents of Cingulate sulcus was merged into Cingulate cortex. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

What does it do?

There needs to be a function section.
