Editing Cingulate cortex (section)

==History==
''[[Cingulum (anatomy)|Cingulum]]'' means "belt" in Latin.<ref>{{cite OED|cingulate}}</ref> The name was likely chosen because this cortex, in great part, surrounds the [[corpus callosum]]. 
The cingulate cortex is a part of the ''"grand lobe limbique"'' of [[Paul Broca|Broca (1878)]] that consisted of a superior cingulate part (supracallosal) and an inferior hippocampic part (infracallosal).<ref>Broca, P (1878). "Anatomie comparee des circonvolutions cerebrales: Le grand lobe limbique et la scissure limbique dans la serie des mammifères". ''Revue d'Anthropologie''. '''1''': 385–498</ref> The [[limbic lobe]] was separated from the remainder of the cortex by Broca for two reasons: first because it is not convoluted, and second because the gyri are directed parasagittally (contrary to the transverse [[gyrification]]). Since the parasagittal gyrification is observed in non-primate species, the limbic lobe was thus declared to be "bestial". As with other parts of the cortex, there have been and continue to be discrepancies concerning boundaries and naming. [[Korbinian Brodmann|Brodmann (1909)]] further distinguished Areas 24 (anterior cingulate) and 23 (posterior) based on granularity. More recently, it was included as a part of the [[limbic lobe]] in the Terminologia Anatomica (1998)<ref>{{Terminologia Anatomica|A14.1.09.230}}</ref> following von Economo's (1925) system.<ref>''Economo, C., Koskinas, G.N.
