Left rostrolateral
prefrontal cortex is important for high-level thoughts, including monitoring and integrating information processed in other areas of the brain.
The
prefrontal cortex controls executive function, assessing information and making decisions.
Because their
prefrontal cortex is in development, teens are more likely to make decisions based on what provides instant gratification, such as a feeling of happiness.
Prior to starting a standard 1, 200 kcal/day weight-loss diet, all participants received a functional MRI study (fMRI) of the brain, which assessed regions, including the lateral
prefrontal cortex, which is linked with self-regulation, and the ventral medial
prefrontal cortex, a brain area involved in motivation, desire, and value.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies have shown that cerebellum and
prefrontal cortex are most affected areas of the brain where volumes are reduced.
In research published today in the journal Nature Communications, a team of scientists led by Dr Taylor Schmitz and Professor Anderson used a task known as the 'Think/No-Think' procedure to identify a significant new brain process that enables the
prefrontal cortex to successfully inhibit our thoughts.
[8,14] The areas of interest included: the left dorsolateral
prefrontal cortex (IDLPFC), ventromedial
prefrontal cortex, and anterior cingulate cortex.
The
prefrontal cortex is vital in decision making, impulse control, risk management, logical thinking, organized thinking, personal development, attention and complex planning among others.
Each medial
prefrontal cortex was excised, processed routinely and stained with the haematoxylin and eosin, and cresyl fast violet stains.
