It is thought that rostral ACC id involved in emotional processing<ref>Bush G, Luu P & Posner MI, Cognotve and emotional influances in the anterior cingulate cotrex, Trends. Cogn.

It seems that rostral ACC is in the side of the critique<ref>Etkin et al., Emotional processing in anterior cingulate and medial prefrontal cortex, 2011</ref> and have negative feedback on selection of actions. it is highly active in depression<ref>Wagner G, Sinsel E, Sobanski T, et al.
