Video: Investigating the Function of Deep Cortical and Subcortical Structures Using Stereotactic Electroencephalography: Lessons from the Anterior Cingulate Cortex

Cingulate rotation (brain): anatomy and functions - yes, therapy helps!

Prefrontal cortex

Orbitofrontal cortex

Rule #1: Be quick Because if we pause, the prefrontal cortex (planning, decision-making) might get overwhelmed, and boom 💥 executive dysfunction. Quick choices feel safer than trying to process everything at once. Rule #2: Don’t fall down Falling = getting stuck in task paralysis, sensory overload, or emotional flooding. Once we’re down, it can take hours to reboot. Rule #3: Never look back because the anterior cingulate cortex and amygdala love to loop through old mistakes and social anxiety.
