The cingulum: anatomy, connectivity and what goes beyond by Kollenburg, L, Arnts, H, Green, A, Strauss, I, Vinke, S, Kurt, E

“…For over half a century, the cingulum has been the subject of neuroanatomical and therapeutic investigations owing to its wide range of functions and involvement in various neurological and psychiatric diseases. Recent clinical studies investigating neurosurgical techniques targeting the cingulum, like deep brain stimulation of the anterior cingulate cortex and cingulotomy, have further boosted interests in this central ‘hub’ as a target for chronic intractable pain. …”
