The retrosplenial region is a brain area and part of the cingular cortex. NeuroNames is a system of nomenclature for the human and/or macaque Brain. It is defined by Brodmann area 29 and the Brodmann area 26. Brodmann area 29, also known as granular retrolimbic area 29, is a cytoarchitecturally defined portion of the Retrosplenial region of the Cerebral Brodmann area 26 is the name for a small part of the Brain. Human In the human this area is called ectosplenial area 26.
Function
Retrosplenial cortex has dense reciprocal projections with both the anterior thalamic nuclei and the hippocampus. The anterior nuclei of thalamus (or anterior nuclear group) are collection of nuclei at the rostral end of the dorsal Thalamus. The hippocampus is a part of the Forebrain, located in the medial Temporal lobe. In humans fMRI studies implicate the posterior cingulate region in the recall of episodic information. Functional MRI or functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI is a type of specialized MRI scan The retrosplenial cortex is one of several brain areas that when damaged produce anterograde amnesia. Anterograde amnesia is a loss of Memory of what happens after the event that caused the Amnesia; it is different from Retrograde amnesia, where memories
