The cingulate cortex is divided into anterior, middle, posterior, and retrosplenial (Palomero-Gallagher et al 2009) (posterior and retrosplenial are more located in parietal lobe)


Anterior cingulate cortex

Subgenual (ventral) ACC

  • Anticipates future physiological needs, highly connected to hypothalamus (Dixon et al, 2017)


Pregenual ACC

  • Assists in value determination of interoceptive sensation (along with medial orbitofrontal cortex and anterior insula) (Dixon et al, 2017)


Dorsal ACC (also called anterior midcingulate)

  • Appraise actions and behaviors and potential future outcomes (Dixon et al, 2017)
  • Error detection
