Hypotheses about its function include guiding reward-based decision making[1], monitoring for conflict between competing responses[2] and predicting task difficulty[3]. later it was further demonstrated that dACC activation corrolate to the difficulty of deciding between options[4]. Precise mechanisms of dACC function remain unknown. It was found that dACC is involved in adapting behaviou.[5].


It is thought that the dorsal ACC is primarly involved in cognitive processing[6]. It is part of the learning mechanism, that learn the positive and negative outcomes of actions in neutral tasks[7][8][9][10] and with correlation with rostral ACC, it is involved in emotional learning. It is also a reward mechanism, that gives "globals enrgizing factor", to actions that in the past seems to be rewarding[11]. Rats with lisions in the ACC, prefer less effortful mission with less reward, to tasks with more effortful with more reward[12].The ACC motivation mechanism is dependent on dopamin[13][14]. The Meutation in Dopamin receptor D2 may lower the amount of dopamin recived by the ACC, thus it may be the cause that make people with Atention Deficit Disorder (ADD), have lack of motivation to engage in effortful actions and decision making.

A Role for the Human Dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex in Fear Expression, 2007 - dACC has a major role in fear expression. When electrode stimulus was introduced to the dACC during head operations, patients reported high level of anxiety, where as when the regions was removed, anxiety symptoms were reduced[15]. under time pressuer, the emotional stropp decision is becoming even slower[16]. See also the page on fear.
