PREFRONTAL CORTEX - The executive control center
PREFRONTAL CORTEX - The executive control center
The Prefrontal Cortex is responsible for conscious regulation and interpretation of emotions. It is vital for self-control and decision making - weighting reactions before acting on it, through integration of cognitive and emotional processes.

ANTERIOR CINGULATE GYRUS- The emotional conflict detector
The anterior cingulate gyrus is a key structure in detecting and resolving conflicts. It particularly moniters and evaluates emotional significance of a given stimuli. It is also responsible for anticipation of a stimuli based on it's reward-based learning principle.

STRIATUM - THE REWARD PROCESSOR
STRIATUM - THE REWARD PROCESSOR
The Striatum is involved in processing of rewards and hence functions with reinforcement-based learning. It is involved in the experience of pleasure and motivation, and thus regulates goal-directed behaviours.
