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

“…Variability in anatomical and connectivity models complicate proper and standardized neurosurgical targeting, consequently leading to clinicians often being reluctant on stimulation and/or lesioning of the cingulum. Hence, future research should be dedicated to the standardization of these models, to allow for optimal targeting and management of patients with chronic intractable pain.…”
