Prefrontal cortex

I choice to write about cognition and choice and The Prefrontal Cortex. We use the Prefrontal cortex(PFC) to make our principal decisions. The PFC and observes and evaluates the benefit-valuation activities going on in your brain and processes them to make decisions. Other parts of your brain, like your NAcc, send their basic gut feelings to the PFC and the PFC weighs the options and makes the final choice. The PFC uses conscious thought to consider the many sets of potentially consequences of an action. It is the area of the brain where we make our best guess. On another site, I found that your Prefrontal cortex decisions can be mapped and reacts specifically to choice. The PFC has,” two motivational tendencies: approach and avoid”(Van…

INCREASE FUNCTIONING OF PREFRONTAL CORTEX AND LONG-TERM MEMORY As children grow older, they begin to use “rules” in order to solve problems, play games, and interact in society. The prefrontal cortex plays an important role in retrieving the rules that govern a child’s behavior (Bunge 118). As a child grows up throughout middle and late childhood, their prefrontal cortex begins to function as a guide to the basic rules of the human life. The prefrontal cortex “processes the information about…

those of adults. The study consisted of having both teens and adults looking at images of adult faces and having them describe what emotion they saw in said faces. The researchers were surprised to see that while adults were able to accurately decipher the emotions on the faces the teenagers struggled. What the researches found according to Spinks (n.p.) was, “that teens mostly used the amygdala, a small almond shaped region that guides instinctual or “gut” reaction, while the adults relied on…

Is screen time damaging the teen brain emotionally? Ever heard of the Limbic System, Synaptic Pruning, or the Prefrontal Cortex? Synaptic Pruning, the Limbic System, and the Prefrontal Cortex all deal with the brain. In a way, they all have something to do with behavior. Screen time is bad not only for a teens brain, but for their health. The AAP should should not raise the time limited to screen time. Synaptic Pruning is a productive charge in neutral structures by reducing the overall number…

responsible you are. Being able to be financially stable or financially independent is a huge milestone to take on. Being able to stay stable financially is a great achievement and makes you a responsible person. When you are able to live on your own without depending on anybody else except yourself then it is responsible. If you are able to pay your own rent and have a steady income then it is considered being responsible. These are all the roles taken on by parents and adults. Scientist…

To begin, Greene’s study entitled “Integrative moral judgment: dissociating the roles of the amygdala and ventromedial prefrontal cortex” and the hypothesis claimed that the amygdala enables automatic emotional responses while the ventromedial prefrontal cortex is responsible for an all things considered response, also known as the rational response. This experiment operated in this manner, participants underwent a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan while responding to 48 “trolley”-type…

coordination of information processing. The executive functions emerge from infancy and develop swiftly during the preschool years. Dynamic brain changes within the prefrontal cortex (PFC) are consequently closely associated with the development. Throughout the essay, I am going to focus on the childhood development of cognitive flexibility, inhibition control, planning, and working memory among the broad range of executive functions, and discuss the implications of the brain changes, in regard…

your stress, anxiety or simply improve you quality of life. But you may ask how is this actually possible? Yoga meditation has proven to alter parts of the brain just with even the bare minimum of sitting for 15 to 30 minutes per day. Meditation, which focuses on awareness of your breathing, sounds, and presence in the moment has effectively reduced stress levels, balanced perspectives, and guided in a positive difference of how one approaches life. In the article “This is your brain on…

actualization, realizing one’s true potential she needed to find an environment that would meet her need to belong. Also, her acknowledgement of the variation between her socialization, how she was nurtured/ grew up, and the socialization found in her desired environment is a major theme within this song. Teenagers: The song encompasses many units from our AP psych class. Teenagers are known for abnormal behavior, taking part in activities that are socially unacceptable; a lot of this reckless…

for this reason, they are more likely to encode into the long-term memory (Schaefer & Rotte, 2007; Plassmann, et al., 2012). Moutinho et al., (2014) remark that decisions about any brand are made in a conscious way from past events and retrieval process makes to happen by declarative memory. Besides, the experiences or culture has the impact on brand choices, so this kind of personal detail about brands affects the retrieval process to bring out from episodic memory (Ratnayake, et al., 2010;…
