The prefrontal cortex regulates and directs brain signals, suppressing context-inappropriate behavior.

“he said the main function of the prefrontal cortex is to say to specific brain areas under specific contexts so um the sh of course is a you know his way of describing neural inhibition so quieting of neural activity in certain brain circuits under certain conditions”

“the prefrontal cortex the neural real estate behind our forehead it's a bunch of different areas of of the prefrontal cortex but it's a essentially a context learning machine it learns what's appropriate in one situation and not another and it learns rules it can teach and learn rules”
