Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to examine the participation of cingulate cortex in skeletomotor function in primates. Evidence suggests that cingulate cortex is not homogeneous and that some parts of this region are more directly involved in somatic motor control than others. For the purposes of this review, we will divide cingulate cortex into two subdivisions. The first is the cingulate gyrus, which in this chapter includes only cortex on the interhemispheric surface. Traditionally, this region has been considered part of the limbic system (Broca, 1878; Papez, 1937). Based on existing evidence, the cingulate gyrus appears to be primarily involved in the expression of emotions and inner drives, the control of autonomic functions, the direction of attention toward sensory stimuli, and the motivational-affective response to noxious stimuli.
