The study also concluded that procrastinators also have a less defined connection between the amygdala and the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), which helps turn emotional information into ...

Amygdala Reactivity and Anterior Cingulate Habituation Predict Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Maintenance After Acute Civilian Trauma. Biological Psychiatry , 2017; 81 (12): 1023 DOI: 10. ...

September 1, 2010 (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)— The volume of the cingulate cortex might be progressively affected as major depressive disorder (MDD) worsens over time, investigators reported ...

In the study, people with poor action control were also found to have a less pronounced dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, which uses information from the amygdala to greenlight certain actions.

A study published in Nature Communications reports that a key function of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is to help the brain adapt to performing new tasks. When the researchers changed the rules ...

In contrast, liberals were thought to have a larger anterior cingulate cortex, potentially making them better at managing uncertainty and adapting to new information. However, these initial ...
