By contrast, females on average had higher density in the left frontal pole, and larger volumes in the right frontal pole, inferior and middle frontal gyri, pars triangularis, planum temporale / parietal operculum,
anterior cingulate gyrus, insular cortex, and Heschl's gyrus; bilateral thalami and precuneus; the left parahippocampal gyrus, and lateral occipital cortex.
Being nice «The great complexity of human social interactions and the huge variation in what we find rewarding compared with other primates prompts questions about whether
the anterior cingulate gyrus operates similarly in the human brain,» Matthew Apps and Narender Ramnani, who work on neuroimaging and human cognition at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK, told Nature in an email.
Areas of the visual cortex responsible for recognizing complex visual scenes as well as
the anterior cingulate gyrus, which governs attention and motivation, are also active during REM sleep.
Specifically, males on average had larger volumes and higher tissue densities in the left amygdala, hippocampus, insular cortex, putamen; higher densities in the right VI lobe of the cerebellum and in the left claustrum; and larger volumes in the bilateral anterior parahippocampal gyri, posterior cingulate gyri, precuneus, temporal poles, and cerebellum, areas in the left posterior and
anterior cingulate gyri, and in the right amygdala, hippocampus, and putamen.

Bilateral ROIs implicated in naming (i.e.,

gyrus, superior and inferior parietal lobules).
Including data on greater deactivation of sham acupuncture points compared to baseline (3d, rest > sham) from 50 subjects, 5 experiments and 52 foci, resulted in significant convergence in pregenual
anterior cingulate, subgenual cortex and parahippocampal
gyrus.
The activations of the
anterior and posterior
cingulate gyrus and the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex further support the assumption that the perception of chemosensory anxiety signals might release feelings of empathy.
Contrasting the perception of anxiety sweat with sport sweat, significant brain activations were detected in the right insula (BA 44, 47, 48; Fig. 3a), the right precuneus (BA 4, 5; Fig. 3b), the left supramarginal
gyrus (BA 40), the right thalamus, the dorsomedial frontal

Recent research looked at DTI and fMRI to elucidate the brain regions involved and found that connections from the supramarginal
gyrus to the
anterior cingulate and from the inferior frontal gryus to the frontal
gyrus may be involved and are affected in word - specific spelling impairment in children with dysgraphia.
We hypothesized that whole - brain and region - of - interest analyses would identify differences in cortical thickness in prefrontal (especially
anterior cingulate, middle frontal
gyrus and orbitofrontal cortex) brain regions in female adolescents with early onset SUD, compared to controls.
