The cingulate cortex is divided into anterior, middle, posterior, and retrosplenial 5 (posterior and retrosplenial are more located in parietal lobe)


Anterior cingulate cortex

Subgenual (ventral) ACC

• Anticipates future physiological needs, highly connected to hypothalamus 1


Pregenual ACC

• Assists in value determination of interoceptive sensation (along with medial orbitofrontal cortex and anterior insula)


Dorsal ACC (also called anterior midcingulate)

• Appraise actions and behaviors and potential future outcomes 1

• Error detection
