Editing Anterior cingulate cortex (section)

=== Social evaluation ===
Activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) has been implicated in processing both the detection and appraisal of social processes, including [[social exclusion]]. When exposed to repeated personal social evaluative tasks, non-depressed women showed reduced [[fMRI]] [[Blood-oxygen-level dependent imaging|BOLD]] activation in the dACC on the second exposure, while women with a history of [[Depression (mood)|depression]] exhibited enhanced BOLD activation. This differential activity may reflect enhanced rumination about social evaluation or enhanced arousal associated with repeated social evaluation.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Dedovic K, Slavich GM, Muscatell KA, Irwin MR, Eisenberger NI | title = Dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex Responses to Repeated Social Evaluative Feedback in Young Women with and without a History of Depression | journal = Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience | volume = 10 | pages = 64 | date = 2016 | pmid = 27065828 | pmc = 4815251 | doi = 10.3389/fnbeh.2016.00064 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
