Executive Mind

Meaning

The integrated function of the brain’s prefrontal cortex, responsible for high-level cognitive processes such as planning, working memory, attention, and impulse control. The efficiency of the Executive Mind is directly dependent on a stable neurochemical environment, which is profoundly regulated by hormonal signaling, including thyroid hormones, glucocorticoids, and sex steroids. Optimal function is crucial for professional success and adaptive behavior.
