The level of frontal-temporal beta-2 band EEG synchronization distinguishes anterior cingulate cortex from other frontal regions

Abstract

Recent findings indicate that complex cognitive functions are organized at a global level in the brain and rely on large-scale information processing requiring functional integration of multiple disparate neural assemblies. Findings of this study indicate a particular role of the anterior cingulate cortex in large-scale communication, which could reflect its unique integrative functions in cognitive processing.
