Anterior cingulate cortex
It appears to play a role in a wide variety of autonomic functions, such as regulating blood pressure and heart rate.
Posterior cingulate cortex
While many of the connections in non-human primates may be present in humans, they are less well documented. Studies have shown strong reciprocal connections to medial temporal lobe memory structures, such as the entorhinal cortex and the parahippocampal gyrus, which is known to be involved in associative learning and episodic memory. The human posterior cingulate cortex is also connected to areas involved in emotion and social behavior, attention (the lateral intraparietal cortex and precuneus), and learning and motivation (the anterior and lateral thalamic nucleus, caudate nucleus, orbitofrontal cortex, and anterior cingulate cortex).
