“…To understand this ostensible contradiction, one needs to take into account that the DMN was originally defined based on low resolution PET data and early fMRI data using large smoothing kernels, which led to a treatment of the entire PCC as a uniform component of the DMN. In recent years, however, it has become clear that a more detailed parcellation of the PCC is required anatomically 54,55 as well as functionally 46,47,56,57 . Building on Brodmann's 58 identification of cytoarchitecturally defined areas, Vogt and colleagues 54,55 provided a novel anatomical parcellation scheme of the posterior cingulate cortex, dividing this brain area into a dorsal portion (dPCC, including the dorsal parts of BA 23 and BA 31) and a ventral portion (vPCC, including the ventral parts of BA 23 and BA 31).…”
