Description
Summary:The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has a role in attention, analysis of sensory information, error recognition, problem solving, detection of novelty, behavior, emotions, social relations, cognitive control, and regulation of visceral functions. This area is active whenever the individual feels some emotions, solves a problem, or analyzes the pros and cons of an action (if it is a right decision). Analogous areas are also found in higher mammals, especially whales, and they contain spindle neurons that enable complex social interactions. Disturbance of ACC activity is found in dementias, schizophrenia, depression, the obsessive-compulsive syndrome, and other neuropsychiatric diseases. Prednja cingularna kora ima ulogu u paznji, analizi senzornih informacija, prepoznavanjugreske, resavanju problema, otkrivanju onog sto je novo za jedinku, ponasanju, emocijama, socijalnim relacijama i kognitivnoj kontroli kao i regulaciji autonomnih funkcija. Ova area je aktivna kad god osoba dozivljava neka osecanja ili kada resava neke probleme i vrsi analizu za i protiv neke akcije odnosno da li je odluka ispravna. Analogne oblasti su nadjene i kod visih sisara, narocito kitova i kod svih postoje vretenasti neuroni koje omogucavaju slozene socijalne interakcije. Poremecaj funkcije prednje cingularne kore se vidja u demencijama, shizofreniji, depresiji, opsesivno-kompulsivnim poremecajima i drugim neuropsihijatrijskim bolestima.
