Brodmann area 33 explained

Brodmann area 33
Latin:	area praegenualis

Brodmann area 33, also known as pregenual area 33, is a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined cingulate region of cerebral cortex. It is a narrow band located in the anterior cingulate gyrus adjacent to the supracallosal gyrus in the depth of the callosal sulcus, near the genu of the corpus callosum.^[1] Cytoarchitecturally it is bounded by the ventral anterior cingulate area 24 and the supracallosal gyrus (Brodmann-1909). The pregenual area 33 is heavily involved in emotions, especially happy emotions.^{[2] [3]}
