Recent studies indicate that presynaptic long-term potentiation in the anterior cingulate cortex may contribute to chronic pain-related anxiety. In addition to the anterior cingulate cortex, the insular cortex has also been indicated in chronic pain and ...

Functional specialization within rostral prefrontal cortex (Area 10): a meta-analysis [PDF]
One of the least well understood regions of the human brain is rostral prefrontal cortex, approximating Brodmann's area 10. Here, we investigate the possibility that there are functional subdivisions within this region by conducting a meta-analysis of ...

Neural correlates of attentional capture in visual search [PDF]
Much behavioral research has shown that the presence of a unique singleton distractor during a task of visual search will typically capture attention and thus disrupt search.

Attention for Learning Signals in Anterior Cingulate Cortex [PDF]
Learning theory suggests that animals attend to pertinent environmental cues when reward contingencies unexpectedly change so that learning can occur. We have previously shown that activity in basolateral nucleus of amygdala (ABL) responds to unexpected changes in reward value, consistent with unsigned prediction error signals theorized by Pearce and ...

Spinal nociceptive transmission receives biphasic modulation from supraspinal structures. Recent studies demonstrate that the anterior cingulate cortex facilitates spinal excitatory synaptic transmission and nociceptive reflex.

Motivation of extended behaviors by anterior cingulate cortex
Intense research interest over the past decade has yielded diverse and often discrepant theories about the function of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). In particular, a dichotomy has emerged between neuropsychological theories suggesting a primary role for ACC in motivating or 'energizing' behavior, and neuroimaging-inspired theories emphasizing its ...

Choosing the lesser of two evils, the better of two goods: Specifying the roles of ventromedial prefrontal cortex and dorsal anterior cingulate in object choice [PDF]
The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and dorsal anterior cingulate cortices (ACd) are considered important for reward-based decision making. However, work distinguishing their individual functional contributions has only begun.

SPG4 and Dementia: Expanding the Clinical Spectrum
ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of disorders characterized by progressive spasticity and lower limb weakness, with mutations in SPG4/SPAST being the most common cause. Detailed studies and clinical and molecular comparisons across different populations are missing.

Anterior Cingulate Cortex to Ventral Hippocampus Circuit Mediates Contextual Fear Generalization
Contextual fear memory becomes less context-specific over time, a phenomenon referred to as contextual fear generalization. Overgeneralization of contextual fear memory is a core symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but circuit mechanisms ...

Principles of nociceptive coding in the anterior cingulate cortex
The perception of pain is a multidimensional sensory and emotional/affective experience arising from distributed brain activity. However, the involved brain regions are not specific for pain. Thus, how the cortex distinguishes nociception from other aversive and salient sensory stimuli remains elusive.
