Prefrontal cortex
Part of the brain responsible for personality, decision-making, and social behavior
Prefrontal cortex
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the anterior part of the cerebral cortex of each frontal lobe of the mammalian brain. It is the association cortex in the frontal lobe. This region is responsible for processing and adapting one's thinking in order to meet certain goals in different situations. These processes of thinking can include the brain allowing one to focus, control how they behave, and make decisions. The PFC contains the Brodmann areas BA8, BA9, BA10, BA11, BA12, BA13, BA14, BA24, BA25, BA32, BA44, BA45, BA46, and BA47. This brain region is involved in a wide range of higher-order cognitive functions, including speech formation (Broca's area), gaze (frontal eye fields), working memory (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex), and risk processing (e.g. ventromedial prefrontal cortex). The basic activity of this brain region is considered to be orchestration of thoughts and actions in accordance with internal goals. Additionally, many authors have indicated an integral link between a person...
