prefrontal

Mindfulness training also improves the prefrontal cortex and thus the ability to control impulses and thoughts.

States are another fun one, thought rather terrifying to think that congress in some strange way might be equivalent to prefrontal cortex.

At the very least, sitting still and focusing on mental work trains the prefrontal cortex which is essential for impulse control and discipline.

You are assuming that just because the prefrontal cortex sometimes knows the difference between reality and fiction, the rest of the brain must as well.

Both those foods are extremely high in omega 3, and unlike plant omega 3's, the animal sources contain DHA which is essential for neurogenesis on prefrontal cortex neurons.

The cluster of symptoms mimics prefrontal cortex damage.

We investigated the effects of damage to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) on false recall in a standard laboratory test involving lists of conceptually similar words (the DRM task [2]).

Caffeine from coffee makes me feel like someone has thread tied into my eyeballs and into the center of the prefrontal cortex of my brain, and is pulling on it with shaking hands.

> The way the prefrontal lobe works is that it can only process one thing at a time, but it can switch between two tasks very rapidly.

There are also things that map very well to neurological processes that are known to get completely wrecked during addiction, such as the ability to put your prefrontal cortex in charge and pursue deferred rewards.

In the case of this study, I'd guess that walking excites the supplementary, pre-motor and the motor cortex, as well as some attentional processes devoted to it from the prefrontal cortex (PFC) compared to just sitting.

Significant changes in brain anatomy and activity are still taking place during young adulthood, especially in prefrontal regions that are important for planning ahead, anticipating the future consequences of one’s decisions, controlling impulses, and comparing risk and reward.

Hence when your amygdala starts sending out signals of imminence, your rational prefrontal cortex might be able to think "No need to be afraid.", but it's not able to properly communicate that back.

The "conspiracy nut" center of my brain (located slightly behind the prefrontal cortex I think) is wondering whether this could be some kind of weird ploy to guarantee a monopoly on AI research and other next-generation computing research by Silicon Valley venture capitalists and their orbiting ecosystems such as YC.
