Potentially confusing wording

> The anterior cingulate cortex can be divided anatomically based on cognitive (dorsal), and emotional (ventral) components.

I find this misleading, since it might sound like "dorsal" means "cognitive". I'd prefer to write the sentence in a way that makes clear that dorsal (toward the back of an organism) and ventral (toward the front) refer to the position rather than the function.

I agree. I added information from some of the more recent articles exploring the functions of the ACC. There is a lot information known about this brain area and receives a considerable amount of interest by neuroscientists.

This article severely misrepresents the function of the ACC. It highlights a small number of recent fringe studies, while ignoring the vast consensus of accepted work. - User:Dmd 12:31, 16 April 2006

I'll see what I can do, once the semester ends next week. (I'm a 2nd year grad student in cognitive neuroscience.) --Dmd 15:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to all your brains

I'm a mom of an Autistic 6 year old with severe cognitive delays. I've started neurofeedback.(not LENS) His QEEG reads elevated Beta in the cingulate gyrus above 16hz, thanks to your article I can understand what this means. I really appreciate your willingness to give knowledge to those of us who haven't the time to research every aspect. God Bless <>< Mom

linking in this article needs obviousification

the linking is opaque! e.g. ba32 (dorsal anterior cingulate area 32) is linked under the word 'areas' in 'dorsal areas of the cigulate cortex'.

the picture of this article doesn't show the ACC anywhere? Put a new picture or modify this one so that it shows where the ACC IS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.172.4.44 (talk) 02:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deficient lead secn

This is clearly mostly abt the human brain, based on the chosen illustration. It needs to say

  1. that it is, and
  2. whether ACC's exist in other species.

Can someone verify this quotation?

The last paragraph of "Evidence against error detection and conflict monitoring theory" currently reads as follows:

It has been stated that "The cognitive consequences of anterior cingulate lesions remain rather equivocal, with a number of case reports of intact general neuropsychological and executive function in the presence of large anterior dorsal cingulate lesions.[1] For an alternative view of anterior cingulate, see Rushworth's review (2007).[2]

Reflist for convenience:

The quotation marks aren't closed. I'm guessing the quotation ends at the period, just before the footnote, but that isn't guaranteed, and I can't access the source. JamesMLane t c 17:28, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

gyrus or cortex?

anterior cyngulate cortex, anterior cyngulate cortex, same thing? The article has a few uses of gyrus without ever saying whether it's the same thing or a part of the anterior cyngulate cortex. Please clarify Dave Yost (talk) 23:15, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
