Formalin was injected into the hind paw and histamine into the neck of a mouse to induce pain and itch, respectively. The activation patterns of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) neurons were then ...

A recent study identified beta frequency neural activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) of the brain's frontal lobe as the key neural signature underlying processes associated with recognizing ...

Sensory hypersensitivity in mice with the Grin2b gene mutation found in patients is related to hyperactivity of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and hyperconnectivity between the ACC and other ...
