rACC is negatively correlated with [[amygdala]] activity in conflict resolution tasks. it is suggested that the rACC down-regulate the amygdala<ref>[http://www.cell.com/neuron/retrieve/pii/S089662730600626X Etkin, A et al.

===dACC===
Hypotheses about its function include guiding reward-based decision making, monitoring for conflict between competing responses and predicting task difficulty. Precise mechanisms of dACC function remain unknown<ref>[http://ziv.mgh.harvard.edu/pdf/nature11239.pdf Sheth, Sameer A., Matthew K. Mian, Shaun R. Patel, Wael F. Asaad, Ziv M. Williams, Darin D.
