Brodmann area 32
Brodmann area 32 (pronunciation: /ˈbrɔːdmən ˈɛəriə 32/), also known as the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex or dACC, is a part of the brain named after the German neurologist Korbinian Brodmann, who first defined this region in 1909.
Etymology
The term "Brodmann area 32" is derived from the name of its discoverer, Korbinian Brodmann. Brodmann used a method of mapping the brain's cortical areas based on their cytoarchitectonic characteristics - the organization and structure of the brain cells. The number "32" was assigned to this area in his map of the brain.
Function
Brodmann area 32 is involved in various cognitive functions, including decision-making, error detection, and conflict monitoring. It is also associated with emotional regulation and plays a significant role in the brain's reward system.
