当人们想象未来的事件时，前额叶皮层，前扣带皮质和海马体之间，有一个复杂的的“功能耦合" 。
When people imagined future events, there was an intricate "functional coupling" between parts of the prefrontal cortex, the anterior cingulate cortex and the hippocampus.
研究者得到的更为有力的证据是，两种方法都能降低大脑痛觉感觉区域的活动，而这一部位称为前扣带皮质。
The researchers obtained further confirmation by showing that both treatments lowered the activity in a pain-sensing area of the brain known as the anterior cingulate cortex.
举例来说，当我们发现自己热爱的事物时，大脑前扣带皮质层就会呈现活跃的迹象，不过知道这点无助于我们理解热爱是怎么一回事。
For instance knowing that the anterior cingulate cortex lights up when we love something, doesn’t necessarily help us understand the experience of loving.
结果发现：大鼠尾壳核接受来自大脑皮质广泛区域的投射，包括额叶皮质1～2区、顶叶皮质1～2区和扣带前皮质等。
The retrograde labelling is present in wide areas of cortices including areas 1 and 2 in frontal cortices, areas 1 and 2 in the parietal cortices and the cingulate gyrus.
