“While many people view those with BPD as dishonest or manipulative, brain scans suggest otherwise: Data shows that the prefrontal cortex shuts down when those with BPD become stressed, therefore preventing them from purposefully lying or manipulating. In simple terms, people with BPD simply react without forethought or premeditation.”

Why We Self-Sabotage – Understanding The Science of Change
You may have made resolutions again this year but did you actually tell your emotional brain about them?
No?
Then it is likely that by now, midway through the first month of the new year, those resolutions are a dim and distant memory.
We humans are notoriously bad at changing habits, but it’s not because we are inherently weak willed…

“People with BPD also have less brain activity in the Pre-Frontal Cortex.”
~ From Mindfulness for Borderline Personality Disorder
This certainly feels true most days but I’m not sure if it’s comforting to know science supports it... ? 🤔😂
Having to constantly predict the weather to know how much food to stock up on led Northern Europeans to have a more developed pre-frontal cortex than Roman-Catholics. When not dying of starvation or disease brought by an invasion from the warmer south, Northern Europeans typically had longer lifespans than Southern Europeans.

Activity in pre-frontal cortex and basal ganglia precede the filtering of irrelevant items. The filter process may be a result of attention. Attention can act as a biasing function, encoding the most relevant items. Dopamine, in the basal ganglia, may act as gating stabilization against distraction by enhancing select memories.
Your pre-frontal cortex
At the same time that young adults are experiencing new levels of sophistication in thinking and emotional regulation, their brains are undergoing changes in precisely the areas associated with these functions. While it is not possible to determine cause-and-effect, brain and behavior are changing in parallel.
Pre-frontal cortex: The most widely studied changes in young adulthood are in the pre-frontal cortex, the area behind the forehead associated with planning, problem-solving, and related tasks. At least two things affect the efficiency in its functioning:
myelination: the nerve fibers are more extensively covered with myelin, a substance that insulates them so that signals can be transmitted more efficiently, and
synaptic pruning: the "briar patch" of connections resulting from nerve growth are pruned back, allowing the remaining ones to transmit signals more efficiently.
Connections among regions: At the same time, the pre-frontal cortex communicates more fully and effectively with other parts of the brain, including those that are particularly associated with emotion and impulses, so that all areas of the brain can be better involved in planning and problem-solving.
