Review of case studies

The Anterior Cingulate Gyrus/ Cortex is a newly researched area of the brain. Lengthy research has shown the A.C.C. plays a major role in the production and outward expression of an individual’s behavior. by Developing and altering one's paradigms, it is possible to enlarge the physical size and overall influence that this region of the brain has on one’s cognitive and philosophical views, in turn altering an individual’s action/reaction results in such a way that life becomes either elaborated or deescalates, depending on ambitions for enlargement or static growth. Applying these understandings to research, scientists have used the scientific method to find evidence in life that will help them explain this awesome phenomenon. Doing more than explaining the goal, is to one day use this research in the clinical settings. As my bibliographies will show there is no bias in understanding the vast importance of the Anterior Cingulate Gyrus/Cortex. In further studies these researchers reach out to members of all walks of life to help explain and unravel the mysteries of the A.C.C. personally I believe this to be one of the most fascinating and important studies to be completed in the field of modern psychology.
