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. ==External links== * {{BrainMaps|cingulate%20gyrus|cingulate gyrus}} * {{RocheLexicon|13048.000-3}} ==See also== * [[Cingulate sulcus]] * [[Cingulate cortex]] * [[Brodmann area 24]] ==References== * [http://jn.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/79/4/2231.pdf Pain Stimuli Recorded Over the Human Anterior Cingulate Gyrus], Lenz, et al. <references/> {{limbic system}} {{Prosencephalon}} {{Papez circuit}} [[category:Limbic system]] [[Category:Cerebrum]] {{neuroanatomy-stub}} [[de:Cingulum (Anatomie)]] [[fr:Cingulum]] [[pl:Zakręt obręczy]] [[pt:Giro do cíngulo]] [[sv:Limbiska systemet#Anatomi]] [[zh:扣带回]]
