'''Cingulate gyrus''' (belt ridge in eng.) is a [[gyrus]] in the medial part of the [[brain]]. It partially wraps around the [[corpus callosum]] and is limited above by the [[cingulate sulcus]].
The cortical part of the cingulate gyrus is referred to as [[cingulate cortex]].
==Connections==
The cingulate gyrus receives inputs from the [[anterior nucleus]] of the [[thalamus]] and the [[neocortex]], as well as from [[somatosensory]] areas of the [[cerebral cortex]]. It projects to the [[entorhinal cortex]] via the [[cingulum]].
==Function==
It functions as an integral part of the [[limbic system]], which is involved with emotion formation and processing, learning, and memory. Also, executive control needed to suppress inappropriate [[Priming (psychology)|unconscious priming]] is known to involve the anterior cingulate gyrus.
