What is the rear cingulate?
Cingle is located near the center of the cortex. Its rear, rear cingulatte, also forms the upper limbic lobe. Scientists have suggested that the rear cingulate plays a role in human consciousness, memory search and pain recognition. However, the exact function of the region must still be proven.
There are four parts to the brain, with the front brain in front. The front brain contains the brain and part of the limbic system. Cerebrum contains four lobes and is connected to higher brain functions. The justification, movement and sensory perception are related to the brain.
under the brain and lining thalamus is a limbic system. The primary components of the limbic system are hippocampus and hypothalamus. The regulation of the emotional and physiological reactions of the body is the task of the hypothalamus. Hippocampus converts short -term memory to long -term memory.
Near the limbic system in the brain is a cingulatte. The cingulate provides a communication path between the hypothalamus and Thalam, which transmits feelings and motor signals to the cortex. Two sections include cingle, frontCingulat and rear cingulatte.
The front cingulate is bound to obsessed thoughts and behavior. This can lead to extreme, it can lead to conditions such as obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorder. Problems in front cingulat can cause Tourette's syndrome or chronic pain conditions. The front cingles are known more than the rear cingulate.
The rear cingulate is centrally placed along the default network (DMN) network that controls the brain when the body and mind are at rest. The brain scans have shown that the nerves of the rear cinguelate stop fire while a person performs a task, but reactivates the completion of the task. This suggests that the region reduces its connection with DMN while the task is carried out. Its connection to the cognitive control network (CCN) moves in the opposite direction and increases with the task, but falls at rest.
Little is known about the exact function of the rear cingulated. Scientific work has proposed numerous functions. Ideas include sleep regulation, loneliness and political beliefs. However, there is not enough evidence to convincely define the region.
The rear cingulate atrophy can correlate with Alzheimer's disease. Research involving individuals who have this disease has shown that the Cinguelate area is generally less. It was found that the rear cingulatte was almost half of its correct size.
