The prelimbic region, to pick one of many, is like the ceramics gallery: if that’s your bag, great—you could spend all day in here marveling at how its neurons send spikes after a mistake is made, seemingly in order to ensure you take more time before making the same decision again;19 if it’s not your bag, glance at the serried ranks of plates as you hurry to the exit.
