Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The anterior cingulate cortex has been implicated in emotion regulation, and studies have shown that it works with the prefrontal cortex to suppress immediate reward and impulsivity. The hippocampus is primarily involved in memory consolidation, and the hypothalamus is primarily involved in regulating basic bodily functions such as hunger, thirst, and sleep, and is not directly involved in emotion regulation. The ventromedial hypothalamus is involved in regulating satiety and feeding behavior.
