The first is the prefrontal cortex, right behind your forehead, critical for things like decision-making, focus, attention and your personality.

Number two: the most common finding in neuroscience studies, looking at effects of long-term exercise, is improved attention function dependent on your prefrontal cortex.

The more you're working out, the bigger and stronger your hippocampus and prefrontal cortex gets.

Because the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus are the two areas that are most susceptible to neurodegenerative diseases and normal cognitive decline in aging.

So with increased exercise over your lifetime, you're not going to cure dementia or Alzheimer's disease, but what you're going to do is you're going to create the strongest, biggest hippocampus and prefrontal cortex so it takes longer for these diseases to actually have an effect.

In red is an area that's active in the prefrontal cortex, the frontal lobe of the brain, and in blue is this area that was deactivated.

So we had this focal area called the medial prefrontal cortex that went way up in activity.

We had this broad patch of area called the lateral prefrontal cortex that went way down in activity, I'll summarize that for you.

We have this big cortex, we're pretty proud of ourselves.

So Motts is doing something here, and probably he is going like this with his right hand, because the left side is activated on the motor cortex.

You can also see that his visual cortex is activated in the back of the head, because that's where he's seeing, he's seeing his own brain.

So we've got motor cortex activation up there.

And you do that by measuring the relative activation of the left prefrontal cortex in the fMRI, versus the right prefrontal cortex.

This is an area in the prefrontal cortex, a region where we can use cognition to try to overcome aversive emotional states.

It's been shown to promote pre-frontal cortex development where a lot of cognition is happening.

An FM device in the cortex of the brain, the motor cortex, will send signals in real time to the motor points in the relevant muscles so that the person will be able to move their arm, let's say, in real time, if they've lost control of their arm.

And other FM devices implanted in fingertips, on contacting a surface, will send a message back to the sensory cortex of the brain, so that the person feels a sense of touch.

But that is not enough, because compassion, which activates the motor cortex, means that we aspire, we actually aspire to transform suffering.

So what happens when we pay attention is that the prefrontal cortex, the sort of executive part of our brains, sends a signal that makes a little part of our brain much more flexible, more plastic, better at learning, and shuts down activity in all the rest of our brains.

The wiring from your sensory apparatus to those bits is shorter than the bits that have to pass through the thinky bit, the cortex.

It takes a central cortex, if you like, to be able to orchestrate all those elements at the same time.

On the side here, this is temporal cortex.

So people who have damage to their orbital frontal cortex seem to be unable to feel regret in the face of even obviously very poor decisions.

Now if you look at the brain of an individual who has a cochlear implant and you have them listen to speech, have them listen to rhythm and have them listen to melody, what you find is that the auditory cortex is the most active during speech.

So this is how close your mental experience and the activity of the neurons in the retina, which is a part of the brain located in the eyeball, or, for that matter, a sheet of visual cortex.

So from the retina you go onto visual cortex.

And something else that happens is that those image-making regions where you have the plotting of all these neural maps, can then provide signals to this ocean of purple that you see around, which is the association cortex, where you can make records of what went on in those islands of image-making.

There is the brain stem in between the cerebral cortex and the spinal cord.

What happens then actually is that you lose the grounding of the self, you have no longer access to any feeling of your own existence, and, in fact, there can be images going on, being formed in the cerebral cortex, except you don't know they're there.

Look at "cerebral cortex," look at "brain stem," look at "body," and you get the picture of the interconnectivity in which you have the brain stem providing the grounding for the self in a very tight interconnection with the body.
