Prefrontal cortex
Brain Linkages
The prefrontal cortex has a high number of interconnections both between the brainstem's Reticular Activating System (RAS) and the Limbic System. As a result, the centers in the prefrontal cortex depend significantly on high levels of alertness, and emotional linkages with deeper brain structures related to control of pleasure, pain, anger, rage, panic, aggression (fight-flight-freeze responses), and basic sexual responses.
