Anterior cingulate cortex
The Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is the frontal part of the
cingulate cortex
, which resembles a "collar" form around the
corpus callosum
, the fibrous bundle that relays
neural signals
between the right and left
cerebral hemispheres
of the
brain
. It includes both the
ventral
and
dorsal
areas
of the cingulate cortex, and appears to play a role in a wide variety of
autonomic
functions, such as regulating
blood pressure
and
heart rate
, as well as
rational
cognitive
functions, such as
reward anticipation
, decision-making,
empathy
and
emotion
. Neuroscientists indicate the
dorsal
anterior cingulate cortex is primarily related to
rational
cognition while the
ventral
is more related to
emotional
cognition .
