Brodmann area 24

Brodmann area 24 is part of the anterior cingulate in the human brain.

It occupies most of the anterior cingulate gyrus in an arc around the genu of the corpus callosum.

Its outer border corresponds approximately to the cingulate sulcus.

It includes portions of the cingulate gyrus and the frontal lobe.

The cortex is thin; it lacks the internal granular layer (IV) so that the densely distributed, plump pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer (III) merge with similar cells of the internal pyramidal layer (V); the multiform layer (VI) is very thin (Brodmann-1905).
