Prefrontal Cortex Performance

Meaning

The measure of the functional output of the brain’s anterior-most region, the prefrontal cortex (PFC), which is the executive center responsible for complex cognitive behaviors, including planning, decision-making, working memory, and moderating social behavior. High performance in this region is essential for sustained focus, emotional regulation, and advanced problem-solving capacity. This function is highly sensitive to hormonal and metabolic status.
