Cingulate gyrus - Definition

Cingulate gyrus is a gyrus in the medial part of the brain. It partially wraps around corpus callosum and is limited above by the cingulate sulcus.

The cortical part of the cingulate gyrus is referred to as cingulate cortex.

The cingulate gyrus receives inputs from the anterior nucleus of the thalamus and the neocortex. It projects to the entorhinal cortex via the cingulum.
