The prefrontal cortex is the region of the brain in charge of executive functions. The integral link between our personality and the functions of the prefrontal cortex - alertness, emotional links with deeper brain structures related to control of our fight-flight-freeze responses - pleasure, pain, anger, rage, panic, aggression, sexual and other desires.
It is the part of our brain (3) that regulates judgment, planning, problem solving, decision making, moral reasoning - our sense of self. When it is out of whack, we are unable to plan ahead or make far-reaching decisions - unable to see the big picture.
Our thoughts affect us - our body & how we perceive our self - internally & externally, on the surface & deeply, in all areas & at all levels.
