What is Cingulate cortex?
The '''cingulate cortex''' is a part of the [[brain]] in the middle of the [[cerebral cortex]]. The two parts of the cingulate cortex are the '''cingulate gyrus''' and the '''cingulate sulcus'''. The cingulate cortex is above the [[corpus callosum]]. ==Connections== The cingulate cortex is connected to many other parts of the brain. It gets input from the [[thalamus]] and the [[neocortex]]. [[Neuron]]s send information from the cingulate cortex to the [[entorhinal cortex]]. ==Importance== The cingulate cortex is a part of the [[limbic system]]. It is important for [[emotion]]s,<ref>{{cite journal|last=Hadland|first=K.
