#Shorts
What is the Posterior Cingulate Cortex, or PCC? What is it's function and where is it located? Learn about it in Brain Region Shorts!
The Posterior cingulate cortex is crucial for spatial memory, in other words remembering where things and places are. It is also involved in episodic and autobiographical memory. Additionally, it is part of the default mode network (DMN).
Brain Region Shorts are #shorts that provide you with an overview of what a brain region does. More detail you will find in our longer videos.
