“…One important cortical route is through the ACC, which has extensive connections with entorhinal and parahippocampal cortices of the medial temporal lobe (Anderson, Bunce, & Barbas, 2016; Barbas & Blatt, 1995; Barbas & De Olmos, 1990; Blatt, Pandya, & Rosene, 2003; Blatt & Rosene, 1988; Bunce & Barbas, 2011; Insausti et al, 1987; Insausti & Amaral, 2008; Joyce & Barbas, 2018; Kondo, Saleem, & Price, 2005; Lavenex, Suzuki, & Amaral, 2002; Mohedano‐Moriano et al, 2007; Munoz & Insausti, 2005; Pandya, Van Hoesen, & Mesulam, 1981; Rempel‐Clower & Barbas, 2000; Rosene & Van Hoesen, 1977; Saleem, Kondo, & Price, 2008; Suzuki & Amaral, 2004; Zikopoulos, Hoistad, John, & Barbas, 2017), as well as, premotor cortices (Barbas & Pandya, 1987; Bates & Goldman‐Rakic, 1993; Carmichael & Price, 1995; Dum & Strick, 1992, 2002; Luppino, Rozzi, Calzavara, & Matelli, 2003; Morecraft et al, 2012). Additionally, the ACC has strong connections with the amygdala, a medial temporal structure important for regulating emotional arousal and motivational drive (Barbas & De Olmos, 1990; Barbas, Saha, Rempel‐Clower, & Ghashghaei, 2003; Ghashghaei & Barbas, 2002; Kim et al, 2018; Phelps, 2004; Sharma, Kelly, Pfeifer, & Fudge, 2019; Vogt, 2005). How these medial temporal limbic systems interact with the motor planning system, and how they converge and diverge across distinct subdivisions and cortical layers of the ACC, is not well‐understood.…”
