"This might result in an increased number and function of spine synapses in the prefrontal cortex," Vollenweider says.

But the fact that we see functional differences in prefrontal cortex response in lower socioeconomic status kids is definitive.

现在我们的研究发现家境差的孩子（和富裕家庭的孩子对比）在大脑额叶对刺激的反映有着机能上的差异。 这是明确的事实。

In other words, the striatum quickly learns the individual puzzle pieces, and the prefrontal cortex puts them together, Miller says.

Miller解释道，纹状体会很快的辨认出个体的片段，而前额皮质会将他们拼装在一起。

Previous studies have found that the prefrontal cortex is not activated when people interact with inanimate objects, such as a computer game.

过去的调查研究表明，当人们同无生命的物体互动的时候前额皮质不会被激活，例如打电脑游戏。

This claim hinges on a peculiar and unique feature of our cognitive architecture: the stunningly slow development of the prefrontal cortex (PFC).

Stress, Thompson explains, impairs our ability to use our prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that organizes, plans and processes information.

汤普森解释说，压力削弱了我们使用前额皮质的能力。 前额皮质是大脑组织、计划和处理信息的部分。

The fMRI data indicate that these gains were the result of information being processed more quickly and efficiently through the prefrontal cortex.

功能性核磁共振造影技术的数据表明，这是得益于信息可以快速有效地通过脑额叶前部皮层。

Some of the most important changes occur within the prefrontal cortex of the brain, where decision making, understanding and behavioral control reside.
