===Anterior cingulate cortex=== {{main|Anterior cingulate cortex}} This corresponds to areas 24, 32 and 33 of Brodmann and LA of [[Constantin von Economo]] and Bailey and von Bonin. It is continued anteriorly by the '''subgenual area''' ([[Brodmann area 25]]), located below the [[genu of the corpus callosum]]). It is cytoarchitectonically [[agranular cortex|agranular]]. It has a [[gyrus|gyral]] and a [[Sulcus (neuroanatomy)|sulcal]] part. [[Anterior cingulate cortex]] can further be divided in the perigenual anterior cingulate cortex (near the genu) and midcingulate cortex. The anterior cingulate cortex receives primarily its afferent axons from the [[Intralaminar nuclei of thalamus|intralaminar]] and [[Midline nuclear group|midline]] thalamic nuclei (see [[thalamus]]). The nucleus anterior receives mamillo-thalamic afferences. The mamillary neurons receive axons from the [[subiculum]]. The whole forms a [[neural circuit]] in the limbic system known as the [[Papez circuit]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Dorland's|title=Illustrated medical dictionary|date=2 May 2011 |publisher=Elsevier Saunders|isbn=978-14160-6257-8|pages=363}}</ref> The anterior cingulate cortex sends axons to the anterior nucleus and through the [[cingulum (anatomy)|cingulum]] to other Broca's limbic areas. The ACC is involved in error and conflict detection processes.
