The prefrontal cortex is an important part of our brain that helps us make decisions. When it doesn't work well, it can cause us to make bad choices or act without thinking.

Challenges:

• Trouble judging risks
• Difficulty controlling emotions
• Hard time thinking about long-term effects of choices

Potential Solutions:

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy, which helps improve decision-making
• Mindfulness techniques that help us be more aware and in control
• Using structured methods to help guide our choices

By tackling these problems, we can make the prefrontal cortex work better, which leads to better decision-making overall.
