<Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy (edit on Wikidata) </Td> </Tr> <P> In mammalian brain anatomy, the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the cerebral cortex which covers the front part of the frontal lobe . The PFC contains Brodmann areas 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 24, 25, 32, 44, 45, 46, and 47 . </P> <P> Many authors have indicated an integral link between a person's will to live, personality, and the functions of the prefrontal cortex . This brain region has been implicated in planning complex cognitive behavior, personality expression, decision making, and moderating social behavior . The basic activity of this brain region is considered to be orchestration of thoughts and actions in accordance with internal goals . </P> <P> The most typical psychological term for functions carried out by the prefrontal cortex area is executive function . Executive function relates to abilities to differentiate among conflicting thoughts, determine good and bad, better and best, same and different, future consequences of current activities, working toward a defined goal, prediction of outcomes, expectation based on actions, and social "control" (the ability to suppress urges that, if not suppressed, could lead to socially unacceptable outcomes). </P>
