Prefrontal Cortex


For a while now I’ve had this fascination with the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the role it plays in learning, addiction, and those strange behaviors that make you scratch your head and wonder… “Why?”

To give you a brief description, this magnificent part of the brain is the gem of our evolution and the basis for our superb neural connections. 

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is responsible for:
-  abstract thinking and thought analysis
-  our active working memory
-  our ability to judge right and wrong, and foresee the outcomes
-  social control (and controlling sexual urges)
-  control over intense emotional impulses (the seat of good judgment)
-  short term and long term decision making; allowing you to plan ahead and create strategies. 
-  focusing thoughts and enabling you to pay attention, learn, and concentrate on goals
-  evaluating complex concepts and tasks

My Natal Chart (Advanced Horoscope)

   
This is my natal chart which is like a snapshot of the sky at the moment you were born. It goes much deeper than your Sun sign (the sign you read when you check the horoscope in the newspaper).
If you are new to astrology and would like one of your own just send me an e-mail! You will need a time of birth for the houses and ascendant to be accurate, but there are general aspects that won’t change much if you don’t know the correct time. This is, of course, for entertainment purposes only.
