An accidental discovery led scientists to identify the cingulum as one of the brain structures responsible for compulsions. It is formed by a group of axons.
What is the cingulum?
The cingulate cortex or cingulum, which is part of the limbic system, is a group of axons in the brain that project from the cingulate gyrus to the entorhinal brain cortex.
It has been proposed that the cingulum may be responsible for some types of aggressive and competitive behaviors in males.
This part of the brain (i.e., the limbic system) can be affected by different neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.
