Episode 2: The Powerful, Intentional PFC (and how to use it)
The brain's newest, most uniquely human, and singularly powerful Prefrontal Cortex – the PFC – delivers many of the functions and abilities we want more of in our lives. Yet it's not always available when we need it – until, that is, we learn how it works and how WE can work with it.
This episode invites you to explore the PFC's abilities and the challenges to accessing them so that you can begin to practice the mindsets and mindstates that will, with time, keep that intentional powerhouse more readily online.
I've shared some fun links, a video about the PFC, and follow-ups on this episode's resource page: www.thebrainandbeyond.com/episodes/2. Take a look, and email me at ellen@thebrainandbeyond.com with suggestions, or topics you'd like to learn more about.
Thank you for being here and please listen in again soon.
Best,
