This page covers biological details of component Posterior Cingulate Cortex. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Cortex -> Parietal Lobe (NC.LOBE.PAR) -> Medial Parietal Lobule (NC.MPL) -> Posterior Cingulate Cortex (NCP.NC.MPL.PSCG) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: cortex
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Conscious Personality Area
• Brodmann ID: 23,31
• Role: processor
• Function: Self-awareness, pain and episodic memory retrieval
