Tristan Sapolsky Behave

Chapter 2 Frontal Cortex
Frontal Cortex - makes you do the harder thing, whenever the harder thing is the righter thing.

VPFC - short term rewards
DLPFC - better the long term rewards, the better activations

VPFC - Emotion
DLPFC - Cognition

Frontal Cortex & Relationship with Nervous System
- Contemplating pushing someone in front of trolley = VPFC
- Contemplating pulling on trolley problem lever = DLPFC

- Cognitive Behavior Therapy - CBT
- CBT - creates reappraisal of scenario
- Sematic Marker Hypothesis - internal analysis of what various outcomes would happen.

Pathological Liars have more gray matter in their frontal cortex; suggesting more complex wiring.
