Cingulate

They included a region involved in regulating negative emotions and another called the cingulate, which activates when the brain makes judgments about forgiveness, among other things. ❋ Nick Anthis (2006)

Also overactive is a region involved in shifting attention, called the cingulate gyrus. ❋ Unknown (2007)

But he notes that yet another area of the brain, called the cingulate cortex, responds to conflicts like wanting to buy something that costs too much. ❋ Unknown (2011)

In addition, the scans found significant reductions of "gray matter" (the portion of brain tissue that is dark in color) especially in areas of the brain called the cingulate and parietal lobe, and significant reductions of "white matter" (brain tissue that is lighter in color) in the parietal lobe. ❋ Unknown (2010)

An abnormal volume increase was noted in meth-exposed children in a region called the cingulate cortex, which is associated with control and conflict resolution. ❋ Unknown (2010)

For example, an abnormal volume increase was noted in methamphetamine-exposed children in a region called the cingulate cortex, which is associated with control and conflict resolution. ❋ Unknown (2010)

But just as TV ads prime that lower part of the brain, it turns out the kind of training my mom gave me could boost the "just say no" signal in my anterior cingulate cortex. ❋ Turnstyle (2011)

This matched the enhanced activity we observed in two critical regions of the brain: the amygdala, a small structure deep in the brain that is central to the processing of emotion, and the rostral anterior cingulate cortex rACC, an area of the frontal cortex that modulates emotion and motivation. ❋ Unknown (2012)

The grey matter in the anterior cingulate, involved in emotional processing and being attentive, was also reduced. ❋ Unknown (2011)

It also depends on your ACC, the anterior cingulate cortex, a portion of your brain that lights up to tell you to pay attention to the pain. ❋ Jennette Fulda (2011)

However, the study finds that the brain's "executive network" - associated with high-level, complex problem-solving and including the lateral PFC and the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex - also becomes activated when we daydream. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Until now, the brain's "default network" - which is linked to easy, routine mental activity and includes the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC), the posterior cingulate cortex and the temporoparietal junction - was the only part of the brain thought to be active when our minds wander. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Parts of the prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortices, which play key roles in vigilance and scepticism when judging the truth and importance of what people say, were deactivated when the subjects listened to a supposed healer. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Learning to meditate altered brain activity in the very same regions, such as the insula and anterior cingulate cortex, that are targeted by next-generation pain medications. ❋ Jonah Lehrer (2011)

The scientists discovered that a critical mental control area, called the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, worked much harder and, perhaps, less efficiently among children with attention problems. ❋ Robert Lee Hotz (2011)
