Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prefrontal cortex is responsible for impulse control and emotional regulation. During adolescence, this region develops more slowly than other parts of the brain, which can result in impulsivity, risk-taking behavior, and emotional volatility. The parietal cortex is involved in sensory processing, the occipital cortex is responsible for vision, and the dorsal cortex is a general term for the top (dorsal) part of the brain. None of these regions are as closely linked to impulse control and emotions as the prefrontal cortex.
