“…According to one view, while dACC is involved in dealing with non-emotional distraction (as considerable data suggests; e.g., Bush et al 1998;Carter et al 2000), rACC is involved in dealing with emotional distracters (cf. Bishop et al, 2004;Etkin et al, 2006;Whalen et al, 1998). In contrast to this view, in the current study regions of dorsal ACC were identified by the main effects of both visibility and emotionality, though the dACC region identified by the emotional main effect was slightly more posterior than to that identified by the visibility main effect.…”

“…It has been suggested that rostral and dorsal cingulate cortex subserve distinct processes: 'affective' and 'cognitive' respectively (Bush et al 2000;Whalen et al 1998).

“…This issue has been investigated through Stroop-type Bremner et al, 2004;Etkin et al, 2006;Shin et al, 2001;Whalen et al, 1998) and other attentional paradigms (Bishop et al, 2004;Mitchell et al 2007;Simpson et al, 2000;Vuilleumier, et al, 2001). These studies suggest that systems involved in the top-down attentional control of emotional distracters include ACC Bremner et al, 2004;Etkin et al, 2006;Shin et al, 2001;Whalen et al, 1998), PFC (Bishop et al, 2004;Blair et al, 2007;Shin et al, 2001;Simpson et al, 2000;Vuilleumier, et al, 2001;Whalen et al, 1998) and parietal cortex Bremner et al, 2004). However, very little work has addressed if regions providing attentional control of emotional distracters are similar to those responding to other features that increase the salience of the distracter, for example visibility level.…”

“…A distinction has been drawn between rostral and dorsal regions of cingulate cortex (rACC and dACC); it has been argued that they subserve distinct affective and cognitive processes (Bush et al 2000;Whalen et al 1998). In particular, it has been argued that attentional control of emotional distracters recruits rACC (Bishop et al, 2004;Etkin et al, 2006;Shin et al, 2001;Vuilleumier et al, 2001;Whalen et al, 1998).…”

Top-down attentional control is necessary to ensure successful task performance in the presence of distracters. Lateral prefrontal cortex, parietal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex have been previously implicated in top-down attentional control. However, it is unclear whether these regions are engaged independent of distracter type or whether, as has been suggested for anterior cingulate cortex, different regions provide attentional control over emotional versus other forms of salient distracter. In the current task, subjects viewed targets that were preceded by distracters that varied in both emotionality and visibility. We found that behaviorally, the presence of preceding distracters significantly interfered with target judgment. At the neural level, increases in the emotional and visual saliency of distracters were both associated with increased activity in proximal regions of prefrontal, parietal and cingulate cortex. Moreover, a conjunction analysis indicated considerable overlap in the regions of prefrontal, parietal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex responding to distracters of increased emotionality and visibility.

Unmedicated patients with MDD showed reduced accuracy and potentiated error-related negativity immediately after committing errors, highlighting dysfunctions in the automatic detection of unfavorable performance outcomes. New analytic procedures allowed us to show that abnormal reaction to committing errors was accompanied by hyperactivation in rostral ACC and medial PFC regions 80 milliseconds after committing errors and a failure to recruit dorsolateral PFC-based cognitive control. Future studies are warranted to investigate whether these dysfunctions might foster the emergence and maintenance of negative processing biases and thus increase vulnerability to depression.

Context Recent neuroimaging research has revealed functional abnormalities in the anterior cingulate cortex, amygdala and hippocampus in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Objective To determine whether resting functional abnormalities found in PTSD are acquired characteristics or familial risk factors. Design Cross-sectional design including identical twins discordant for trauma exposure. Setting Academic medical center. Participants Combat-exposed veterans with PTSD (n=14) and their identical, combat-unexposed co-twins (n=14), as well as combat-exposed veterans without PTSD (n=19) and their identical, combat-unexposed co-twins (n=19). Main Outcome Measures We used positron emission tomography and [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose to examine resting regional cerebral metabolic rates for glucose (rCMRglu). Results Veterans with PTSD and their co-twins had significantly higher resting rCMRglu in dorsal anterior cingulate/mid cingulate cortex (dACC/MCC) compared to non-PTSD veterans and their co-twins. Resting rCMRglu in dACC/MCC in the combat-unexposed co-twins was positively correlated with combat exposure severity, PTSD symptom severity, and alcohol use in their exposed twins. Conclusions Enhanced resting metabolic activity in dACC/MCC appears to represent a familial risk factor for developing PTSD after exposure to psychological trauma.
