Inspiring leaders use less metabolic energy in the right temporal lobe and cingulate gyrus, which are associated with creativity and speech, among other functions.

Functional brain - imaging experiments done at the end of the past century using positron - emission tomography (PET) found marked activation in the frontal lobe of volunteers who had taken hallucinogens, in particular in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the insula cortex.

Follow - up tests a year later showed that the reduced use of glucose by the temporal lobe and posterior cingulate had been reversed in all six people (Annals of Neurology, DOI: 10.1002 / ana.22089).

In this way, they were able to use pulses of light on mice to stimulate theta - brainwave - like activity around the anterior cingulate cortex.

Using fMRI, New York University neuroscientist Elizabeth Phelps has identified two brain regions — the amygdala and the posterior cingulate cortex, associated with emotional learning and decision making — that are crucial in forming first impressions.

They are also using fMRI and MRS to examine functional and neurochemical abnormalities in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex in patients with severe obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

These 2 modalities were used to investigate connectivity within the default mode network, a set of brain regions — including medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), medial temporal lobes (MTLs), and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) / retropslenial cortex (RSC)-- implicated in episodic memory processing.

Using dual regression and seed - based analyses, we observed significantly decreased FC of the default mode network to 2 regions in the posterior medial cortex (PMC): the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and the left precuneus (threshold - free cluster enhancement, family-wise error corrected P < 0.05).

Using ICA, Damoiseaux et al. [20] described two RSN components that together included the superior and middle frontal gyrus, posterior cingulate, middle temporal gyrus and superior parietal cortices.

Using measures of penile tumescence, the striatum, anterior cingulate, insula, amygdala, occipital cortex, sensorimotor cortex and hypothalamus have been shown to play a role in penile erection [15], [20].

It's been my experience that people routinely use heuristics - biases (Tversky & Kahneman) but those cognitive processes may not (I'm not clear on this) involve the active suppression of ideas that occurs in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), where dissonant ideas are weighed and improperly discarded in order to preserve the integrity of pre-existing cherished beliefs.

Using the previously described social exclusion task in the scanner (Cyberball), our group found that the MAOA - uVNTR was associated with the degree of exclusion - related neural activation, such that the individuals with the low expressing alleles had the greatest response within the portion of the anterior cingulate associated with self - reported distress to exclusion (Eisenberger et al., 2007).
