The Prefrontal Cortex, Working Memory and Inhibition
🧠 Did you know that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the brain’s command center for self-regulation, judgment, planning, and conscious behavior? Working memory, the ability to hold and manipulate information in our minds, is crucial for problem-solving and depends heavily on the PFC. This region becomes more active during tasks that demand greater attention, highlighting its role in integrating thought and behavior. Interestingly, there are two main theories about what happens in the frontal lobes during complex tasks. One suggests the brain makes accurate associations between contextual features, while the other focuses on inhibiting irrelevant information. 🧠🔍 Dive into the fascinating world of working memory, inhibition and learn more about how the PFC helps us navigate complex cognitive tasks The content of this video comes from my book
