PETRIDES M. AND PANDYA D., HNS2, p. 954: On the medial surface of the frontal lobe, the cingulate and paracingulate regions are occupied by areas 24 and 32, respectively.
VOGT BA., HOF PR. and VOGT LJ.: Cingulate Gyrus. HNS2, pp. 915-949: The cingulate gyrus forms a cingulum or belt that extends from the lamina terminalis rostral to the anterior commissure, around the genu of the corpus callosum, over the body of the callosum, and just ventral to the splenium. The cingulate gyrus forms the dorsal component of the grand limbic lobe of Broca (1878) and has a major role in most theories of emotion (MacLean, 1993). Although it forms a single and continuous structure, the cingulate gyrus is structurally and functionally heterogeneous. Efforts to identify a structural motif that is responsible for the role of cingulate cortex in emotion and a limbic system have failed as have efforts to characterize a single cingulate function such as attention and its allocation. Because the structure of human cingulate cortex may uncover organizational principles that pertain to the entire brain, characterizing the structural heterogeneity of human cingulate cortex has been a major challenge for neuroscience.Search
