midcingulate cortex

midcingulate cortex (MCC)

The term midcingulate cortex refers to one of four parts of the cingulate cortex in the human, macaque, rat and mouse. It is defined on the basis of multiple criteria, including internal structure, connectivity, and function. The other parts are the anterior cingulate cortex, the posterior cingulate cortex, and the retrosplenial cortex. In the human the midcingulate cortex is located caudally in the anterior cingulate gyrus of the superior frontal gyrus4 and the adjacent border of the superior frontal gyrus of the frontal lobe...the superior bank of the cingulate sulcus. It is composed of two parts, the anterior midcingulate cortex and posterior cingulate cortex. Its location in the macaque is limited to the cingulate gyrus and is also divided into anterior and posterior parts ( Vogt-2016 ). The equivalent in the rat and mouse may be located in the anterior cingulate area of the rodent ( Swanson-2004 ).

Models Where It Appears

Topographic Model of Human Cerebral Cortex

The topographic model of human cerebral cortex is a closed partitive hierarchical model of cerebral cortical structure in the human. The cerebral cortex is segmented on the basis of internal structure, connectivity, and/or functions of cortical areas. It is designed to update the comprehensive early twentieth century parcellations of Brodmann and of von Economo and Koskinas and their successors. A work in progress, it integrates the most authoritative, comprehensive, and recent parcellations and nomenclatures from peer-reviewed publications and neuroanatomical texts. For an equivalent model in the rodent, Search BrainInfo for ' Functional CNS Model - Rat '. This segmentation of the human cerebral cortex, based on a combination of internal structure, connectivity, and function, complements the classical segmentation of the cerebral cortex into lobes, lobules, and gyri based on sulcal patterns: For the classical segmentation, see ' cerebral cortex ' and click 'Locus in Brain Hierarchy'.
