This is why your behavior often changes when you are interacting with others. It allows us to suppress emotional urges and unhelpful thoughts to better fit in during social situations.

The Prefrontal Cortex also controls personality expression and how we act in public by moderating social behavior. The ability to make decisions is a key function of the Prefrontal Cortex. It helps us to evaluate options and make decisions and predicts the future consequences of our actions and how they affect other people and our life. It also determines what is good and bad or right and wrong, based on our beliefs. ItвЂ™s used to plan our time, our life and how we organize things. It helps us work out what we want to achieve. The Prefrontal Cortex is responsible for thinking, goal-setting, and prediction of outcomes. Together, they are part of the Neocortex, which is the whole of the top part of your brain. The Prefrontal Cortex is part of the Frontal Lobe, which is the larger front part of your brain. ItвЂ™s the part of the brain that is often described as the вЂњconscious mindвЂќ When we think or become aware of our thoughts, it feels like they come from this area. The Prefrontal Cortex is the very front part of the brain, located just behind your eyes and forehead. So, IвЂ™ll now cover the different parts of the brain that affect your mindset, emotions, and psychology. Knowing this gives you more choices and helps you find better ways to control your brain. When you forget something important, like your lines during a speech or presentation, you will begin to understand what is happening within your brain that causes this to happen. ItвЂ™s so important to understand how your brain works so that when you have an emotional experience or fear response, you know which area of the brain it stems from.
